Yuwa launch event - India. yuwa-india.org
Yuwa-India, empowering rural youth through scholarship, leadership and teamwork, brought together seven teams of 95 young women from villages in Jharkhand, six of which were brand new..the girls had never played on a team.
Team sports build the spirit of working together, capturing social cohesion to drive youth-led initiatives for community development. By focusing on women in sport, we are showcasing the tremendous value young women bring to the development of the country. As Swami Vivekananda reminds us, All nations have achieved greatness by paying proper respect to women a bird cannot fly only on one wing.
We (Yuwa) formed three of these clubs from scratch - Adivasi Club-Hutup: Suman, one of our eight scholarship students, age 11, got a team of 12 together after telling me she was into football; Karma Village Girls Club from a group of women weavers; and Shalini Hospitals nurse trainees. Willem from The Netherlands trained another three from his anti-trafficking NGO. Only one, Sahiya Club of Rukka Village, existed previously.
The tournament has been organized in full by the Yuwa Club of Hutup Village - a group of 14 progressive young men with support from Yuwa. This video shows us inaugurating new teams, first practices, turning baren rice paddies into a football field, and finally the culmination of many 12-15 hr days, the tournament.
