More about National Inclusion Cup
Our approaches are centered on building self-sufficient communities. The game of Football is our means to that end - connecting individuals, teaching life skills and working towards improving overall quality of life. National Inclusion Cup brings about participants who would otherwise never get an opportunity to participate in such a high level event and creates a platform to share ideas, learnings and challenges with other grass roots organizations that work in the space of Sports4Development. We believe that sport and football inherently offer a transferable set of skills for social development; through team building, acceptance and discipline. We choose specific issues that the Indian slums face and shape our sessions around building some specific and necessary life skills. Football acts as the messenger. Specific game topics include, but are not limited to; inclusion, gender, nutrition, HIV/AIDS, hygiene and child rights. All said and done, the biggest factor that enables us to use football as a tool to connect and bring about social development is quite stunningly simple. Football is fun! We believe we are able to bring about increased learning and engagement through this caus
