TackleAfrica have a unique relationship with our supporters, and the vast majority of our funding comes from individuals who donate their time, energy and funds to helping us in our fight against HIV/AIDS in Africa. As a small, dynamic and energetic charity with an international reach, we are always keen to build relationships with our supporters that go above and beyond the funds they raise to support our work. In the past, people who have raised funds for TackleAfrica have gone on to visit projects in Africa, qualify as TackleAfrica HIV/AIDS football coaches, give presentations on our work to other aid organisations and even become trustees!
