Ritu Gaur, 13, (bottom left) is studying on her bed inside a dorm of the Jamoniya Tank Girls Hostel, near Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, India, where the Unicef India Sport For Development Project has started in 2012. Covering 313 state-run girls' hostels and 207 mixed hostels in Madhya Pradesh, the project ensures that children from Scheduled Tribes (ST) and others amongst the poorest people in India, can easily access education and be introduced to sports. Field workers from Unicef also oversee their nutrition and monitor the overall conditions of each pupil.
