Grassroot Soccer SA

Social Objective:

Grassroot Soccer is an adolescent health organization that leverages the power of soccer to equip young people with the life-saving information, services, and mentorship they need to live healthier lives.

Founded in 2002 by four professional soccer players; this non-profit engages local coaches to equip young people with the knowledge, skills, and support they need to avoid and ultimately break the cycle of preventable diseases like HIV, and complications from pregnancies, gender based violence, and poor mental health that continue to be the leading causes of death among adolescents.

Grassroot Soccer SA has a global reach, with flagship sites in South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. The charity has captured the attention of philanthropists like Prince Harry, who has been regularly seen wearing his Relate Grassroot Soccer Bracelet to benefit the cause. 

By supporting Grassroot Soccer with Relate Bracelets, we show our commitment to helping adolescents stay on a positive health trajectory into adulthood.
