Impact Executive Network

Mentorship program

Football plays a key role in EcoCare_3Rs by engaging young people and communities in a powerful, relatable way. Through the Afya Tip pillar, we use football spaces to promote health and wellness, sharing practical tips on hygiene, nutrition, mental well-being, and environmental health. These activities not only encourage physical fitness and positive lifestyle choices but also provide an opportunity to integrate environmental action such as clean-ups, tree planting, and recycling awareness. Football therefore becomes more than a game; it becomes a platform for mentorship, community unity, and driving meaningful environmental and social impact.

Through EcoCare_3Rs, the Impact Executive Network (IEN) cultivates the next generation of leaders, empowering them with coaching and mentorship, providing strategic guidance, and equipping them with the tools to create meaningful impact.
