To celebrate Women's Day 2020, we at The Better India are trying to help 10 talented girls from a remote village of Maharashtra to reach the USA & participate in the First Lego League Robotic World Championship.

The girls' team known as 'Manutai Kits Angels', from Manutai Kanya School in Akola, Maharashtra have recently won the opportunity to represent India at the FIRST World Championship in Detroit, MI, USA, by winning the Champions Award at the FIRST Lego League (FLL), India-West National Competition that was held in Mumbai. The team also won the Core Values-Team Work Award, and their mentor, Kajal Rajvaidya won the Best Mentors Award.

Akola Village is a farming community in Maharashtra, approximately 600km N-E of Mumbai. All the team members are from underprivileged backgrounds and are in need of funding for their travel, to participate in the World Championship. It will be a dream come true for these girls.
