The Galz & Goals project is a partnership between the Namibian Football Association, UNICEF and SCORE Namibia to empower girls aged 9 to 15 to live healthy through participation in football leagues and festivals. Football is promoted as a positive and fun way of avoiding risky behaviors associated with the spread of HIV in Namibia. By joining the league through school or community teams, girls become Galz & Goals members and receive a G&G Passport containing an oath and tips on living a healthy life, encouraging dreams and aspirations. They also receive a booklet introducing football and healthy living through tips and interactive games using female Namibian and International role models. Structured sustainable leagues are created in each region by teachers, parents, girls, coaches and volunteers from the community who are trained on life skills topics through workshops and also become NFA certified coaches. SCORE is responsible for delivering the life skills aspect  and trains  the coaches, teachers and volunteers on how to promote self-confidence, role modeling, fair play and peer leadership among the young girls participating in the project. SCORE trainers and volunteer leaders also does Kicking AIDS Out activities with the girls during these Galz & Goals festivals. The G&G project is currently being implemented in the communities of Rundu, Keetmanshoop, Khorixas, Windhoek, Gobabis and a festival is presently going on in Okahandja from the 13^th -17^th October 2010.
