| Beneficiary Group | Children | ||||||||||||||||||
| Beneficiary Description | The project directly benefited a total of 580 children between the ages of 8 and 18 years from underserved communities in Mumbai (Maharashtra) and Rajasthan. Of the total participants, approximately 30% were girls and 70% were boys, with a strong focus on promoting gender inclusion and equal participation in sports. The children came from low-income backgrounds with limited access to structured sports and life skills education. In addition to the child beneficiaries, the project also engaged and trained 30 community youth aged 18 to 25 years as Young Leaders, building their capacities in football coaching, facilitation, and leadership. These youth leaders acted as mentors and role models, helping to deliver the sessions and create a safe, inclusive learning environment for the children. | ||||||||||||||||||
