Promoting sports among girls is aligned with one of the Foundation's broader goals: to advance gender equality and the empowerment of women. In partnership with Department of Basic Education, the Foundation provides an opportunity for girls under 15 to participate in a competitive sport.
Young girls in South Africa are often faced with many challenges that
deter them from advancing and seizing opportunities. Sport, netball in
particular, is one way to provide them with much-needed space, support
and security. However, women's sport does not receive much attention
from the private sector. The Foundation seeks to address this gap
through this programme.
