My name is Ahaan Shizan, a varsity football player at the International School of Hyderabad. I’m 16 years old and have trained under Coach Peter since I was 8.

Coach Peter has dedicated his life to young players from across India, offering free training, housing, and meals. He never turns anyone away because of money. For these 12 players, proper food is the fuel that keeps them learning, training, and dreaming.

Problem

India spends only ₹2.5 per person annually on sports, one of the lowest rates in the world. Many talented athletes come from low-income families earning less than ₹3,00,000 per year. Training and housing may be covered, but nutrition is often overlooked, even though it is essential for performance and education.

Our Solution 

This campaign raises ₹31,500 to cover one month of food expenses for all 12 athletes.

Your support provides:

• Balanced, high-protein meals every day

• Energy to train harder and recover faster

• Stability so players can focus on school and football without worrying about food

Here’s who your support will help this year:

• Amar, Aziz, and Orlan (age 16) – from Manipur
• Joshua, Subash, and Ramakant (age 16) – from Telangana
• Sai (age 18) – from Nizamabad District, Telangana
• Hema and Chinnu (age 20) – from Hyderabad and Goa
• Marco and Tej (age 21) – from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh
• Rishab (age 22) – from Kanpur, Uttar Pradesh

Football is the most popular sport in the world, but in India it is still a privilege. Talent shouldn’t be limited by income, geography, or access.

This campaign isn’t just about one month of groceries. It’s a commitment to building a long-term, sustainable support system for Coach Peter’s Grassroots Football Academy. The work he is doing, training, feeding, and mentoring underserved players, deserves awareness, recognition, and funding.

Your donation helps fuel more than meals. It helps fuel the future of 12 young athletes, and the future of grassroots sport in India.
