India

Programme Outline

With a population of 1.1 billion, India is home to 20% of the world’s children. International Inspiration is working hand-in-hand with the Indian Government to make sure all children have the chance to play sport in their schools and communities. International Inspiration is active in six states, building strong links between practitioners and policy makers in the UK and India. The programme is providing opportunities for some of the country’s most disadvantaged young people. These include girls, children with disabilities and children from lower castes.

Creating a culture of inclusive sports education as well as user-friendly resources for primary schools have had a massive impact on young people’s lives. Trained community coaches are using sport to tackle a range of social issues, such as forced marriage for girls and truancy, as well as encouraging more children to attend school by improving the provision of PE and sport.

Through our partnership with the Government, over the decade safe spaces for children to play will be created. In addition, coaches are being trained, equipment is being provided and sports competitions are being organised in India’s 250,000 rural villages.
