The main goal of the program is to improve drinking water and sanitation facilities at 1100 schools in Kenya, Ghana and Mozambique. Furthermore, more than 700,000 school children will be taught life skills related to hand washing, clean drinking water and improved sanitation through football- and life skills coaches (WorldCoaches).
 
====History====
During the celebration of UN World Water Day on 22 March 2012 in Wageningen, the new program 'Football for Water' was announced by the Director of KNVB Bert van Oostveen. The KNVB works together with Unicef, Simavi,Vitens Evides International, Aqua for All, Akvo and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The public-private partnership is characterized by 50-50 contribution by private partners and the Dutch government.
 
The partnership will provide 750.000 children in Ghana, Kenya and Mozambique with a healthy environment and at the same time awareness on personal hygiene will be raised. Drinking water- and sanitation facilities will be installed through (local partners of) e.g. Unicef, Simavi and Vitens Evides International. The KNVB, with local partners, will educate WorldCoaches in order to establish behavioral change and will set up school football competitions. Specifically for this program, a new Life Skills Manual was developed for the subjects in the field of WASH by the University of Utrecht. The program will run from april 2012 until march 2016.
