Mumbai, Mar 8 (UNI) PUMA will empower Mumbai-based NGO, Parcham which has been breaking the gender stereotypes to bolster its mission of inspiring women from marginalised communities of Mumbra, a small town in Thane district near Mumbai, to take up football and make it a viable career option.
Since October 2012, Parcham has been helping women break free of prejudices and reclaim their freedom through football and now PUMA will support them with training gear and boots that will help the Parcham girls to not only perform better on the field but also bring in a competitive edge.
'It’s very heartening to see a global sports brand like PUMA support us in our efforts to encourage more girls to play football. I truly believe sports is an equaliser and have the power to change lives.
