Gift a play
The need
In rural Maharashtra, many schools face significant challenges due to limited resources, including a lack of sports equipment and facilities.
The solution
Provision of sports equipment to schools that otherwise struggle to afford such resources.
How RFI helps
Recognizing the importance of holistic education, the Gift-A- Play initiative was conceived to bridge this gap by ensuring that students have access to the benefits of sports and physical activities.
Central to the Gift-A-Play initiative is the provision of sports equipment to schools that otherwise struggle to afford such resources. This includes essential items like footballs, cricket bats, volleyballs, badminton sets, and more. By equipping these schools with the necessary gear, the initiative aims to create opportunities for students to participate in a variety of sports, fostering physical fitness, teamwork, and leadership skills.
This initiative not only promotes physical activity and sportsmanship but also plays a crucial role in encouraging students to attend school regularly and engage more actively in their educational journey.
