Why?
For over 10 years a group of Muslim women have been trying to secure gender-specific swimming programs that accommodate for our religious needs and allow us to engage in physical activities. However this proved to be a difficult task as most pools do not fulfill these requirements and it was hard to find one that was willing to, and when one was finally found, the program would not last long. As individuals it is difficult to organise these types of programs, therefore MustACT was initiated to provide a basis for our community to engage in activities and arrange for them to meet our requirements, as an organisation.
OUR PURPOSE
To create a platform for Muslim women to be active in the community and in the wider society
OUR VISION
Healthy Muslim women who actively participate and contribute to the society
What are we working on now?
Currently MustACT is working on continuing the women only fitness classes in the north, for those who find it difficult to make it to the classes in the South.
MustACT is working on running the successful girls youth activities and talks program in the south as well.
