Enabling Leadership GlobalGiving Report

Football & Beyond
Even though the world stood still, the grit and desire to learn continued. The students in the 13 villages of Dharwad reflected the qualities of a leader. Our coaches and students had the courage and strength to persevere and come up with new ways to cope and then grow.
In the midst of chaos lies opportunity. Our students seized this opportunity of the Just For Kicks program continuing even when schools were shut. They pushed themselves to not give up. They even made sure to involve their parents in their sessions and activities. As they begin their virtual league as mixed-gender teams in Dharwad, they are putting in all their life skills to succeed. -

Rebuild Together
By Pratik Jain | Manager, Donor Engagement

Even as we continue to face the Covid-19 crisis, our children show great resilience in facing the challenges head-on. Despite the digital divide our children in the Dharwad villages face without access to smartphones, our team has worked hard on identifying the problems, finding solutions and continuously pushing themselves with inspiration from the children and support from their communities. Together, we have turned this crisis into an opportunity by adapting to the new normal and rebuilding together!
Our Enabler from Dharwad shares his approach:
“I wanted to turn the crisis into an opportunity for myself.I used my seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, from to learn and absorb more about the world. The FA and Khelo India online courses opened doors for me during the pandemic. I believe in 3 Ds - Dedication, Devotion and Determination. My learning across several topics such as diet and nutrition, physiology and sports psychology has helped me further develop my coaching philosophy. I feel like a stronger coach to be able to deliver all kinds of sessions, virtual or physical, to help my students grow.”

Embracing the New Normal
As the whole world goes through the global pandemic, there have been positive stories of courage, change and love. We all know we are in the same storm but in our different boats. In the last few months, while emotions have run high, camaraderie has also grown stronger between people and amongst communities. This COVID-19 crisis has hit us in ways we cannot imagine, but it has also made us a look at the world in a completely different way.
Last year the theme of Enabling Leadership was #StrongerTogether. he idea of coming together and making this world a better place. We’ve seen exemplary stories of coming together and creating stories of change directly from our children, schools and our team members at Enabling Leadership - handling personal crises, helping families through difficult times with relief work during the lockdown, coming up with new ideas and creating new ways to learn, teach and encourage each other. These stories make our belief for a leadership and life skills program like ours even stronger than ever before.
As we start the new program year for Just For Kicks in Dharwad, we are aware of the challenges we face and might have to be ready to tackle unforeseen challenges as well, but one thing we know for sure is - if we collaborate and cooperate through all our challenges and successes, we can embrace the new normal and come out #StrongerTogether.
