The special occasion of ESA day, Women’s Premier League 2023 winners Mumbai Indians Women’s team will also be present for the great cause led by Indian and MI captain Harmanpreet Kaur.
What is the ESA initiative?
Reliance Foundation has made elaborate arrangements to ensure the children’s comfort. A total of 500 BEST and private buses along with over 2000 volunteers will be deployed to transport these 19,000 children to the stadium. There will be the provision of 100,000 food boxes and sufficient availability of water. The kids will also get special edition ESA t-shirts, and the opportunity to participate in the activities lined up in the Wankhede concourse.
The ESA initiative began as a humble thought in 2010 and has taken a giant leap forward under the guidance of Ambani. The program has reached out to over 21.5 million children since its inception by supporting non-governmental organizations throughout the year on various education and sporting initiatives.
Mumbai Indians continue to be strong partners of the initiative, hosting a game in the MI schedule every season for which they invite children from NGOs across the city for a live game and cheer for their favorite cricketers. The initiative has now gained prominence across the country and is a shining example of how sports can be used to bring about positive change in society.
