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.
“There is always going to be a reason why you can’t do something; your job is to constantly look for the reasons why you can achieve your dreams.” – Shannon Miller
“I'm willing to be seen. I'm willing to speak up. I'm willing to keep going. I'm willing to listen to what others have to say. I'm willing to go to bed each night at peace with myself. I'm willing to be my biggest, best & most powerful self.”
