“We make a life by what we give” The Kickstart Foundation is rooted in its pledge to serve. Girls and Boys from impoverished communities face distinct challenges – from malnutrition to a shortage for safe playing areas and the constant need of mentors. Equipped with an environment to create awareness of the game of football and with proven, effective programs and the support of amazing funding partners – these challenges have been taken head on by the Kickstart Foundation. With a mission to ensure that no talent is left behind, the Foundation has proven its resolve to nurture quality players. Few players graduated from its cradle to be a part of Kickstart FC and then going on to represent the Karnataka State team and play in the I-League and the National team.
