Games for Goals initiative receiving recognition on Egyptian media platforms

“Games for Goals” initiative is implemented under our Y-LEAD program, where they designed the very first game that aims to combat the Covid – 19 pandemic through creative methods.
 

The game titled Corona Race aims to raise awareness as well as spread the culture of prevention and protection through an emphasis on precautionary measures. The game helps the participants establish prevention and protection measures and provides tips that help in caring for patients that have contracted the disease. This game is played through awareness raising and entertainment activities. The “Corona Race” game is not just a means to raise awareness, it is also a means to address the “No to Stigma” slogan. “No to Stigma” supports injured and recovered individuals as well as doctors.

We are very proud of the team’s efforts and would like to invite you to read the full article here (in Arabic) on Gomhouria Online. 

And to watch a talk show segment (in Arabic) on a local channel in Egypt which hosted two of the volunteers who are part of the implementing team of the initiative 'Games Goals’ here.
