Whizzkids United
Whizzkids was developed in response to the staggering high numbers of HIV infection amongst youth in Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. The HIV prevalence rate in KwaZulu-Natal is estimated at 16.5%, with ante-natal clinics in some areas reporting prevalence rates above 60%, making this province the epicenter of the HIV/AIDS crisis both nationally and globally.
WhizzKids experience working with youth, enabled them to realise that kids learn and respond best when they are motivated and when the method of learning is appropriate, dynamic, goal orientated and delivered in a language that kids speak and understand. This is where the KiTs for the World football kit donation helps to motivate youngsters to take part in programs that can change their life.
As a result, WhizzKids United recognized that football is the perfect tool with which to teach as it speaks a universal language which appeals to all children, both boys and girls, and in doing so transcends culture and background. WKU has local branches in KZN, North West, Western Cape, Gauteng, and the Eastern cape. The Edendale branch of WKU at the Edendale Hospital, Pietermaritzburg, will be implementing the Edendale FFH Centre.
