About Me

I take great pride in being part of Roundglass Foundation and wholeheartedly believe in the purpose and impact of our work.

Roundglass Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation working across rural Punjab to build long-term, community-led solutions in Youth Development, Environment & Sustainability, and Women’s Equity, creating pathways for villages to thrive, not just survive.

Through this Fundraiser i am raising funds for - One of our flagship initiatives is One Girl. One Football. A program where rural girls receive their own football, year-long structured training and mentorship from FIFA certified local coaches in safe community sports centres designed for them to grow, lead, and belong. Currently, over 20,000 children of all ages receive training across 580 sports centers operated by Roundglass Foundation.

I invite you to join me in supporting this fundraiser and be part of a journey where girls from rural Punjab discover the joy of sport, build confidence, and find purpose.

Appeal

Run for Her First Goal

Somewhere in India, a young girl is running barefoot across a dusty field, not chasing medals or fame, but chasing the simple right to play.

For millions of girls, sport is not a childhood memory. It is a missed opportunity. Because when resources are scarce, education is uncertain, and traditions are heavy, a girl’s dreams are often the first to be sacrificed.

Today, less than 30% of rural girls in Punjab participate in organised sports, limiting confidence, health, and leadership outcomes. This initiative changes that and turns play into power. Over 3,000 girls are already playing football, many participate in state level competitions, and a few have already have made it to the nationals.

Your sponsorship supports equipment, coaching, ground access, and tournaments. Every contribution places a football in her hands, a coach by her side, and a future in her reach.

When you run the Tata Mumbai Marathon,
You are running for her first goal
Her first team
Her first moment of being seen
Because when a girl learns to run, fall, rise, and lead
She doesn’t just change her life
She changes the story of India
