Our Appeal

Project SHAKTI – Sundarban Taekwondo Academy

Project SHAKTI goes beyond a conventional sports programme.

While the academy trains children in Taekwondo, self-defence and physical fitness, it also generates community-level economic activity.

Visiting coaches require:

  • Accommodation
  • Food
  • Local transportation

These services are provided by villagers, creating supplementary livelihood opportunities.

Future workshops and tournaments will bring participants and guardians from outside the island, increasing demand for local services.Thus the project functions as a Sports-Led Community Development Model.

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

  • Provide professional Taekwondo training to children from economically disadvantaged families.
  • Promote self-defence awareness and physical fitness.
  • Develop discipline, confidence and leadership qualities.
  • Identify talented students for participation in sports competitions.
  • Create career pathways in sports, defence services, private security and fitness training.
  • Encourage community participation and generate small-scale local economic opportunities.
