2019 Strategic Plan
No sooner had the year started than VAP staff including master coaches and heads of different departments had a 3 days workshop plan for 2019.The meeting provided an opportunity to look at the mirror and reflect on the past programs, successes and the challenges accompanied with some S.W.O.T analysis that had to cut across every section of the programs and the organization. With 2019 programs on VAP’s face, the team had to strategize, including making some adjustments and realignments in readiness for the effective deliverance of programs and what is expected out of them by the communities that they serve.
GlobalGiving Honors VAP
Stepping into the doorsteps of the New Year and bumping into some honors is what VAP found itself into. In celebration of VAP’s 2018 commitment of reaching and working with young people through innovative football based programs, GlobalGiving honored VAP with several badges including: Top Ranked Organization 2019 and Effective organization 2019.The ‘Effective’ badge has been as a result of the programs evolvement and innovativeness through globalgiving’s ‘Listen, Act, and ‘Learn’ platform. Both globalgiving and Mchanga are some of the online fundraising platforms that VAP has been utilizing to support and sustain its existing projects.

By Enouce Ndeche | Project Principle
As the world was marking 30th anniversary of World AIDS day, a group of young people both boys and girls under the auspices of Kick ‘N’ Test VCT football tournament, gathered on different grounds around the lower mukuru for football matches and HIV testing activities. With 28 teams on board, the tournament provided a ‘bonus’ health opportunity to Skillz Kenya HIV weekly awareness program participants who got a chance to know their HIV status. Teams were awarded points based on the customary rules and regulations of Kick N Test tournament where the winner was based on the numbers of people who got tested off the pitch points rather than the regular football match On the pitch scores. Distribution of condoms to the neighboring community members and referrals of voluntary medical male circumcision were made to several adolescent boys as supplement to the tournament’s gain.
