Read more about this story, and the potential of #MindSKILLZ as an emergency response program, in our new case study: grassrootsoccer.org/malawi-flood-r…

Focusing on play, coping skills development, and creating safe spaces in the camp environment, #MindSKILLZ provided 200+ young people in the camps with crucial trauma-informed support, as well as a much-needed space for fun where they could feel free to be a young person again.

In response to a major flooding disaster in Malawi earlier this year, the Malawi Ministry of Health asked Grassroot Soccer to be part of their emergency response and deliver our #MindSKILLZ mental health promotion & prevention program to displaced youth living in temporary camps.

"Sharing our stories is powerful! Our #MindSKILLZ coaches will inspire hope & resilience in adolescents by sharing their experiences. Our founding story led to the creation of @Pamumvuri, thanks to partnerships with Grassroot Soccer, @WHOZimbabwe, @ISSUP_Zim, & more!
