PROJECT
SportxALL
What we do: SportxAll provides access to quality sports training to the underprivileged kids of Kolkata in India. This opportunity helps to keep them out of negative habits, providing them with an alternative and a better path to their future. Additionally, it equips them with valuable life skills essential for personal growth and success.
How we do it? We conduct yearly sports camps for the kids and conduct physical fitness training while spreading the Olympic Values. We have partnered with various clubs where these kids receive quality training throughout the year. All training and equipment costs are borne by SportxAll.
How far we’ve come - We have had over 100 participants in recent years, including children, parents, and teachers. For the past year, we have been actively providing training in multiple sports, such as Karate and Taekwondo. Two of our participants have even won medals at state-level competitions.
