About Rebels Foundation
About us
Rebels Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to empowering talented children from underprivileged backgrounds through sport, education, and holistic development. We work to identify potential early, remove financial barriers, and provide young athletes with access to professional training, quality education, nutrition, mentorship, and life skills.
We believe sport is more than competition—it is a powerful tool to build character, confidence, discipline, and opportunity. Through structured programs and long-term support, we help children grow not only as athletes, but as responsible individuals prepared for life beyond the field.
Our vision is to create heroes through sport—role models whose journeys inspire the next generation to take up sport, believe in themselves, and contribute to a stronger sports culture and ecosystem in India.
