Remember 'Bridging the Gap (BTG)' camps? In the latest episode of 'The Unintended Receiver' podcast, co-Hosts, Mehr Pasricha and Jaidip Patel chat with Liz Haynes - co-founder, heart and soul of BTG camps. In part three of the 'Gender Series', Liz, Mehr and Jaidip discuss how Ultimate teams in India can achieve their goal of gender equity.
Back in 2013, Liz traded her comfortable life as a finance professional with the unknowns of the not-for-profit world. She set-up Transformational Sports, a Sports for Development non-profit, to work towards solving the gender inequality she was seeing and facing on a daily basis. She has hosted 7 youth camps empowering roughly 2000 individuals with knowledge and tools to enable gender equity.
