The Pilot and the pandemic
The Pilot and the pandemic
In early 2020, Playquity kicked off pilot programs in five underprivileged communities across India. These pilots were designed to enforce a detailed framework for girl’s empowerment and gender equality that, in the future, will be deployed in 20 more communities in the following 2 years.
By Feb 2020, the pilot had been deployed in two more communities in the northeast of India. As the Covid-19 pandemic has come to an end, the Playquity team has once again come to the field and is actively working for gender equality through sports and education.
We actively engage with our project communities through video calls. Our current focus is on building confidence, leadership development, and life skills training in girls, with an aim of achieving the fifth sustainable development goal which aims for gender equality.
We are consistently developing our curriculum and conducting research using data collected from the field to catalyze social change and work towards an inclusive future through sports and education.
