Founded by Gabriel Zakuani, the slogan is a fun way of tackling issues people come across in everyday life, such as racism, bullying and other prejudices. From its successful inception as an App, “Everyday I’m tackling” has grown into a worldwide selling brand, available online from an independent T-Shirt retailer.
Tackle Africa

Its aim is to teach young people how to avoid getting HIV, how to live with HIV if you have it, and how to support others to do the same. Their education is done on the pitch through unique interactive football drills, so young people enjoy, understand, learn and remember.
