CTAOP Program Partner Spotlight: Community HealthCare Solutions

CTAOP Program Partner Community HealthCare Solutions (CHS), based in Howick, KwaZulu-Natal, uses a soccer-based life skills program that aims to impact behavior change to reduce communicable diseases, promote gender equity, and reduce unplanned pregnancies. The organization’s efforts focus on an informal settlement called Shiya Abazali – meaning “leave your parents” – made up of various marginalized groups, foreign nationals, LGBTQIA+ individuals, and young people who have dropped out of school. CHS provides psycho-social support services, coordinates ongoing community engagement, and facilitates effective partnerships with the local primary school, clinic, church and community leaders, local government, and other NGOs.
