Educational sessions were delivered with a focus on ‘Germs! What are they and how do they spread?’ along with basic football drills and small sided games in which the children took part enthusiastically, showcasing their skills and passion for the game. The event was attended by Dinesh Nair, Head of Youth Development and Grassroots, Mumbai City FC on Sunday afternoon.

After the sessions the kids were presented with a certificate, medal and a Mumbai City FC Kit to make sure the knowledge about football, clean drinking water and sanitation sticks with them throughout their lives.

They have successfully established a number of highly sustainable projects in Mumbai and Bengaluru as part of their WASH initiative. The initiative has already trained a number of Young Leaders to provide a football based educational program that focuses on the importance of clean drinking water and sanitation to children across the two cities.   

Mumbai City FC and Xylem’s unique partnership pledges itself towards the upliftment of local communities through football and aims to solve the water challenges faced by numerous deprived communities across the city.
