LFC Foundation and Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine return to Malawi

The LFC Foundation headed back to Malawi last month to deliver the final stage of the Health Goals Malawi project alongside the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM).

The joint project, which was launched in 2017, delivers sports-based public engagement activities in Malawi, which allow young people to access health services and education focused on HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Using the power of the LFC badge and the wider appeal of football, the programme engages with local youngsters – in particular, males aged 14-22, who are least likely to access health education and services such as self-testing and treatment plans.
