More about Children play football pro-fertility
In order to break the taboo and shame our of fertility treatments we thought that children can forward the message that sport is cross culture and cross gender as well as fertility. So sport can be used to promote an issue that has the same characteristics: infertility sufferers are from all cultures all nations, all religions and the two genders are equally involved.
Our project organised a football cup for children from different states, accompanied with media campaign which promotes our goal: to break the taboo and the shame of infertility. We have done the football cup with teams from different religions: Jews, Druze and Christians from Israel. IN the future, we hope to make teams from Kenya and Uganda.
