Story
This project will help empower young girls in the low-income communities of Mumbai. It will provide them with support for their education, access to quality football coaching, education in health and hygiene, sanitary materials, supplementary nutrition and national and international exposure visits.
Impact
This project will empower 100 young women and girls, allowing and encouraging them to explore their capabilities and rise out of the shackles of patriarchy helping them reach their full potential of health and well being
Challenge
Females, from the slum communities of Mumbai that OSCAR serves are victims of deep-rooted gender norms, which prevent households from sending girls to school. 47% of girls are married before the legal age of 18 (UNGEI) and 49% is the secondary school net female attendance ratio (UNICEF). They are denied their right to education and freedom.
