SCSTEDS has trained more than 5,000 children in football and acquainted them with various skills to face reality. Choosing sports as an alternative way to bring them together and instill a sense of team spirit and unity has worked wonders. SCSTEDS improved the generally troubled childern from slum area and dysfunctional social environment of the slums.
Children in the area deal with a lot since most are from disadvantaged families. Football is their outlet; something that they cling on to without fear of being let go. And the game has, for its part, rewarded them. Today, several players from Vyasarpadi have made a name for themselves.
