Yuwa is a non-profit program that works with girls from underprivileged families in rural Jharkhand, India. It uses team sports and education to build character, confidence, and courage, helping girls work towards competing, achieving goals, and create brighter futures. Along with sports and academics, Yuwa also provides the girls training on technology.
The founder of Yuva, Franz Gastler, left his corporate job in the US nine years back to move to India and focus on his mission of helping these girls in choosing their career and academic path that suits them best. A 2017 Microsoft Hackathon participant, Gasler leverages technology extensively to realise his vision. This includes an app he developed, which offers data insights to serve as an early warning system identifying if a girl may be in trouble and an interactive website designed by the Microsoft Edge team to maximise fund collection.
