Mrida Newsletter-Feb2025

We’re already a month and a half into 2025; but let’s take a moment to reflect—not just on the milestones we crossed in 2024 before we delve into new arenas, but also on the dreams that grew bigger, the lives that changed, and the impact that deepened. Mrida’s journey this past year has been a testament to the power of resilience, community, and the unwavering spirit of our children. This isn’t just a story about numbers and statistics—it’s a story about young dreamers, first-generation learners, and athletes who found their voice through education and sport. Let’s walk through 2024, not as a list of achievements, but as a story of transformation.

We offer education, food, residential care, sports, and even coding and digital skills. It’s not just a residential school. It’s a safe space, a second home, a first hope for children who've inherited a history of neglect. Some of our girls have gone on to play for Madhya Pradesh at the national level. One got called for India, a moment we had long waited for. Others write their first lines of code or read their first novel. These moments matter. And yet, some boys drop out. Families pull them. Peer pressure drags them. Poverty whispers, "Why study?"

When we started working with the children of tribal communities, we wanted to excel in education, and we wanted to do contextual education. So, when we started to work in football, many couldn’t relate to the concept. Many told us not to work in sports in an area where malnutrition is rife. As we end 2022, we have three of our children in three prestigious clubs of India.
