About Yuwa

Yuwa is an internationally acclaimed non-governmental organization that uses soccer and education to put girls in charge of their own futures. Yuwa is registered as a Trust in India, and has been working in the same locality since 2009. Yuwa is based in villages in the Ranchi district of Jharkhand, where girls are especially at risk of dropping out of school, child marriage, gender-related violence, and human trafficking. Through the creation of football teams, girls gain leadership skills and confidence, continue their education, and are less likely to be forced into child marriage. Here, teamwork is a powerful force to promote health, education and improved livelihoods among the most important agents of change—young women.

Yuwa has been featured in HBO Real Sports, Al-Jazeera, Washington Post, Huffington Post, BBC, Sports Illustrated, Hindustan Times and other media in India and internationally. Recent awards include:
