Yuwa uses girls’ team sports as a platform for social development in rural India.[1] Yuwa is one of the largest girls’ football programs in India, with 250 players, 150 of whom practice daily.[2] In 2009 Franz Gastler founded Yuwa with the financial help of his high school friends, Greg Deming, Stephen Peterson, and Erik Odland, to use football as a platform to combat child marriage, illiteracy and human trafficking among girls in rural India.[3][4]
Vision statement: 'Yuwa, which means "youth" in Hindi, works specifically with girls from impoverished families in rural Jharkhand, India—a place where girls are at risk of child marriage and human trafficking. It is a program that uses team sports and education to build character, confidence, and courage. It is a place where girls who don't yet know their worth can meet to compete, achieve goals, and create brighter futures. Yuwa prepares girls to break the cycle of poverty—permanently' (Yuwa About).[5]
Franz Gastler has given TEDx talks on "Sports to promote confidence in women" (2012),[6] "The Girl Effect" (2013)[7] and with Rinky Kumari "Yuwa - How football can change lives" (2015).[8]
The program was featured as a Microsoft Edge Partner, November 16, 2017,[9] highlighting the new Yuwa web page. The News & Media page has a list of media articles describing Yuwa.[10]
