Who We Are

 

The South African Women and Sports Foundation is an organization that looks to ensure that not only the contributions sport can make to South African women are realized, but that the contributions South African women can make to the sport are equally well recognized and rewarded.

What We Do

 

The South African Women and Sports Foundation (SAWASF) is a non-profit advocacy organization. It is not a sports federation and/or a sports governing body. It is an organization that is focused on advocacy and creating awareness regarding issues that promote and hinder the active participation of women (and girls) in all areas of possible involvement and participation in sport. This includes participation as an athlete or player, coaching, administration, management, officiating, and leading.
