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. Eventually when one was 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. This allows our community to have more opportunities to get active, socialise and become engaged.
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
