Who We Are
A Convener & Catalyst for Change
Founded in 2016, WSDT was born when a group of women came together and reflected on the status of women, girls, and persons with disabilities in Zimbabwe — and felt the need to amplify their challenges through advocacy. Today we act as a convenor and catalyst, harnessing collaborative networks, workshops, mentorship and training to create collective, sustainable, and inclusive solutions through sport.
Our Mission
Facilitate inclusive, equitable and supportive culture that empowers women and girls in all aspects of life in and beyond sport.
Our Vision
To see women and girls thriving and empowered through safer, healthier environments for inclusive and sustainable sport development.
