ORGANISATION FOR SOCIAL CHANGE AWARENESS AND RESPONSIBILITY (OSCAR) is a community based Sports for Development (S4D) organisation that uses the power of football to encourage children to stay in school and equip them with skills to make them resilient and future ready. Through their Football, Education and Young Leader programmes, they have empowered 14,000 children and youth in low-income communities in India since 2010.
6500€ was given to the OSCAR Project in Mumbai, including sponsoring a girls soccer team. Girls from low-income families are traditionally expected to help at home, so the project broadens their horizons and helps their education. A means of female empowerment; in line with Rotary International’s initiative for the year.
The project also helps boys with discipline, regular attendance at school and developing leadership qualities.
Our twin Club, Mumbai SOBO, oversaw the use of the money.
