The pilot and the pandemic
In early 2020, Playquity kickstarted pilot programs in five communities across India. These pilots were designed to create a detailed framework that will be deployed in 20 more communities in the following 2 years.
By Feb 2020, the pilot was deployed in two communities in the northeastern part of India. Sadly, the pandemic has prevented Playquity from doing field work in the remaining communities.
Playquity continues to engage with our project communities through video calls. Our current focus is in building confidence and leadership skills in girls.
Internally, we continue to develop our curriculum and conduct ongoing research using data collected before the pandemic.
