As soon as I heard about Franz Gastler, I had to find out more. A middle-class American man, living in India’s poorest state of Jharkhand, teaching young girls football and helping them gain independence.
When I met him, he was expanding his initiative to Dharavi slum – India’s largest slum – whilst living there too.
Read my article on the BBC website.
Find out more about Franz’s initiative Yuwa – meaning youth in Hindi.
