This non-profit organization, created by Franz Gastler, has been working since 2009 in a remote and impoverished rural area of the state of Jharkhand, where most girls drop out of school and face early marriages and lack of opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yuwa India, which welcomes girls between 5 and 17 years old, facilitates their schooling, prevents them from child marriage, and allows them to expand their future goals, through sports programs, with football being one of the main tools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yuwa is committed to an alternative based on five key pillars:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Football as a tool for empowerment\u00a0<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They promote inclusion, self-esteem, and teamwork.

For two weeks, the young women received specialized training in Zubieta, where club coaches taught them new methodologies for coaching and team management. All of this with the aim of replicating it later with more than 600 girls in India.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As our director, <\/span><b>Idurre Altuna Guilisagasti<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, explains:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8220;The Yuwa project is one of the most special initiatives we work on at Olarain. This is the fourth time we\u2019ve hosted them here. It\u2019s a school for girls run by an NGO in Jharkhand, India, which, through football, gives them the chance to empower themselves and have a personal and professional future that otherwise wouldn\u2019t be possible there. The Yuwa girls come to Donosti to train as coaches under the guidance of the Real Sociedad foundation. In addition to providing them with accommodation and meals, at Olarain we accompany them throughout their two-week stay here in Donostia.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The young women also experienced the city, its culture, its people, and its surroundings. Olarain has been their home during these days, and from here they participated in workshops, visits, walks around the city, training sessions, and shared spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They tried our food, learned words in Basque, were moved by seeing the sea or playing football on the beach, and connected with many people from here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During their stay in Olarain, they also discovered new realities for them, such as seeing women driving or sharing a table with men, which made them see women in a very different role than they are used to in their social context. As the girls said, in India they live in a society that believes women can only marry and clean the house, but after this trip, they will be able to tell others about their experience and say that this is not true, that women are capable of fulfilling their dreams and doing whatever they want, without being under a husband&#8217;s control.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-65274 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-2-1024x768.jpeg.webp\" alt=\"Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad (2)\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-2-1024x768.jpeg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-2-300x225.jpeg.webp 300w, https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-2-768x576.jpeg.webp 768w, https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-2-350x262.jpeg.webp 350w, https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-2.jpeg.webp 1051w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 840px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 840\/630;\" \/><\/b><\/h2>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_network_of_supportive_allies_that_makes_Yuwas_dream_possible_in_Donostia\"><\/span><b>A network of supportive allies that makes Yuwa&#8217;s dream possible in Donostia\u00a0<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Olarain, we are deeply moved to be part of this story. We\u2019ve been collaborating with Yuwa since 2014, and this has already been the fourth time we\u2019ve had the honor of accommodate the team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The collaboration between different entities in Donostia has been key to allowing the Yuwa project to grow in Donostia as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It all started in 2013, when the Donosti Cup offered Yuwa the opportunity to participate in their women\u2019s category. To cover the airfare for the 22 girls, a crowdfunding campaign was organized on Goteo Euskadi that raised 19,000 euros in less than a month, and to which we also contributed from Olarain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since then, we have not only offered them accommodation and meals, but we have built a very close bond with the girls and the project. In 2016, the Yuwa team was invited again for the 25th anniversary of the Donosti Cup, and their stay in Olarain created such a strong connection that our director Idurre traveled to India in 2017 with her children to learn firsthand about the organization\u2019s work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From that visit came the idea for the older girls to be trained as coaches, seeing their passion for learning and teaching others. And when she returned, Idurre proposed it to the Real Sociedad Fundazioa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By September, the project was underway, with the collaboration of Real Sociedad, Autocares David, and the Real Club de Tenis de San Sebasti\u00e1n; while some provided technical training, others offered transportation and recreational spaces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to this network of solidarity, the girls not only received football training, but also lived new experiences: they learned to swim, skate, bathe in the sea and, most importantly, enjoy free time, something completely unfamiliar in their daily routine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2019, the experience was repeated with even more support. The young women participated in activities like the Lilaton and gave talks at the University of Deusto about women, equality, and social transformation through sport and education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After the 2020 break due to the pandemic, this year they were able to return to Donostia and enjoy an experience that leaves them with a sense of hope and the certainty that they have a family in Donostia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As <\/span><b>Shanti Kumari<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, student at Yuwa school and coordinator of Yuwa\u2019s life skills program, told us: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;This experience will be of great help for my future. For example, I want to become a social activist in my community and help women develop themselves. I want to break this chain and motivate and inspire other girls in my society, and this experience will help me achieve it.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Olarain, we feel deeply grateful to share this experience. Because, although they officially come to learn, the truth is we learn even more from them: from their culture, their experiences, their humility, their bravery, and their immense desire to learn and fulfill their dreams. Seeing them grow, sharing with them, accompanying them on their journey, and being part of this story fills us with meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-65277 size-large lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-8-1024x768.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad (8)\" width=\"840\" height=\"630\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-8-1024x768.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-8-300x225.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-8-768x576.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-8-350x262.jpg.webp 350w, https:\/\/colegiomayorolarain.com\/wp-content\/smush-webp\/Yuwa-Donostia-Olarain-RealSociedad-8.jpg.webp 1535w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 840px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 840\/630;\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thanks to Yuwa, to Real Sociedad Fundazioa, and to all the collaborating entities, and above all, to the young women who have inspired us with their time in Donostia.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Until next time, Yuwa team!
