Episode 51
In this powerful solo Sportly episode, Kavitha Davidson takes listeners inside her travels to Jharkhand, India, where she witnessed the life-changing work of Yuwa School. What began when village girls asked American educator Franz Gastler to teach soccer has grown into a movement fighting child marriage, trafficking, and illiteracy. Kavitha shares stories of resilience from girls waking before dawn to practice safely, to graduates like Seema Kumari, who journeyed from rural fields to earning a degree in Economics from Harvard University. This is a deeply personal reflection on how sports can transform communities and futures.
