The film showcases the Group’s efforts to support girls and women in academics through school
and university programmes in UAE and India. Sri Kurumba Educational and Charitable Trust, the
heart of Sobha Group’s philanthropic efforts, oversees a number of initiatives encompassing
education, healthcare, employment, and housing striving to make a positive difference in the lives
of women across the UAE, India, and Oman.

Empowerment programmes, such as Sobha Academy, Sobha Community Home Project Initiative,
Sobha Young Mother Rehabilitation Programme, and Sobha Rural Women Empowerment
Programme, among others, touch the lives of more than 23,000 women and young girls, helping
them access and build brighter futures.

PNC Menon, Founder and Chairman of Sobha Group said, “At Sobha Realty, we recognise the vital
need to empower women and make them independent. By investing in education and upskilling, we
are not just addressing a gap but seizing a tremendous opportunity. We believe that strong
foundations today can transform lives tomorrow. By providing the next generation of women with
the right facilities and opportunities, we aim to foster the mindset needed for them to achieve
success and drive socio-economic growth globally. ”

Through this initiative, Sobha Realty also emphasises that success can be achieved by fostering
positive attitudes and values through sports.

Juliet Slot, the Chief Commercial Officer of Arsenal FC, said, “The story of our women’s team is one
of inclusion, and the power that inclusion can have in the pursuit of progress. Arsenal Women
started as a programme run by our community team and was designed to give young girls the
opportunity to get involved in football for the first time. The programme became a professional
team that 37 years later has won 51 major trophies, broken multiple attendance records, and now
calls Emirates Stadium their main home. Our commitment to inclusion and progress never stops,
and there’s always more to do, so we’re excited to collaborate with Sobha Realty on supporting their
programmes supporting young girls across the world.”
