Pan-African Pilot Partners

Taboobreaker SA pilot project’s purpose is to expand the reach of the Love Land Board Game across Africa and to test the game with a wide variety of organisations, communities, and young people, gather real-world feedback, and use that feedback to strengthen the tool before wider rollout.

Who is Involved

The pilot brings together 16 partner organisations across seven countries.
Each partner organisation is responsible for facilitating Love Land sessions within their own community or school setting and providing structured feedback on their experience, reaching an estimated 4,000 young people across the network.

What is Being Tested

Partners organisations run Love Land Board Game sessions in real-world settings.
Facilitators gather feedback on how the game lands across different cultural contexts, age groups, and community settings, what works, what needs adapting, and where the game opens up conversations that were not happening before.

Why Does it Matter?

Love Land was co-created with young people to provide stigma-free, honest, and engaging education around mental and sexual health.
The pilot is the critical next step in ensuring the tool is as effective and relevant as possible across the diverse communities Taboobreaker SA aims to serve. It is also an opportunity to build a network of aligned organisations across the continent who can share expertise, learn from one another, and collectively expand access to quality health education for young people.

What Comes Next

Feedback gathered through the pilot will inform the next phase of Love Land’s development and rollout.
Taboobreaker SA is committed to ensuring that every iteration of Love Land reflects the voices of the communities it serves, and that the tool continues to evolve in response to real-world needs and experiences.
