Fostering inclusion by breaking barriers

According to The All-India School Education Survey (2016), 62% of government and low-income schools do NOT have a playground. And unfortunately, out of the existing playgrounds, many of them might be NOT even accessible for children with disabilities. It is estimated that 4 out 5 children with a disability do NOT have access to play or sports.

Umoya aims to challenge this status quo!

Umoya is building a network of safe and inclusive after-school sports spaces for children and other individuals with disabilities, offering a platform for each individual to unlock their full potential through recreational play or competitive training.
