Anita Kumari, a girl from a poor family in Jharkhand, has overcome many hurdles to make it to the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Camp.
Growing up in an impoverished household where her father was a drinker and her mother worked as a laborer, Anita's family could barely afford the basics.
They survived on "mad bhaat," a simple dish of fermented rice. Despite the lack of nutrition, sports equipment, and proper facilities, Anita's passion for football remained strong.
Her journey was far from easy, as her patriarchal community criticized her for playing football, a sport perceived as meant for men. Villagers even resorted to putting glass shards on the field to stop her from practicing.
Yet, Anita never gave up. Her dedication saw her through, and she became one of 33 girls chosen for the national coaching camp in Jamshedpur for the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup team.
Anita's story is a testament to perseverance, defying both societal norms and financial struggles to pursue her dreams.
