Our Economic Counsellor Timothy Kendall and DAP Administrator Pallavi Nayek attended an all-girls sports festival in Udaipur organised by our NGO partner Vikalp Sansthan. Nearly 200 girls from more than 20 villages participated at the event.

The NGO has received funding from our Direct Aid Program for a project that uses sport as a medium for emphasising the importance of equal opportunity, access and mobility among rural girls.

This was the fourth in series of sports festivals organised by the NGO.

The event was well received by the local administration and state level athletes who addressed the gathering of girls between the age-group 10-15years and emphasised on the importance of sports for overall health, well-being and empowerment.
