Manndeshi Champions
Empowering Youth Through Sports


Empowering Youth
Through Sports

What we do?

In 2010, Mann Deshi Champions began to identify and nurture prospective athletes –especially girls.

Ever since, we have expanded from not only ensuring that rural children have equal access to sports but now also focus on providing them with access to artistic and scientific skills development and job opportunities.

What sets us apart

01. We provide professional athletic training to rural children

02. We focus on building integrity, self-esteem and confidence amongst rural girls

03. We provide long-term support so that our girls get jobs in sport-related fields

04. We provide a wholistic approach to youth development and also provide training on art and science for children

OUR PROGRAMS

We design programs for rural youth to pursue sports as a profession and go beyond sports to ensure that our athletes can pursue other professions after the end of their athletic career.
