Samba TB Program

Samba TB+ Awareness Campaign

The Samba TB+ Campaign is a dynamic health education initiative that uses the power of sports—especially football—to raise awareness about tuberculosis (TB), HIV/AIDS, malaria, mental health, teenage pregnancy, and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). The campaign blends community mobilization, participatory learning, and accessible health services into one impactful program.
