Empowering Women Through Sport, Leadership & Opportunity
Creating inclusive pathways for women and girls to lead healthier lives, develop leadership skills, build confidence, and become active contributors to their communities through the power of sport.
Building Confidence, Leadership, and Opportunity
Sport has the power to transform lives. At ALZAHRA, we use sport as a platform to empower women and girls by creating opportunities for participation, leadership, education, entrepreneurship, and personal growth.
Since our founding in Afghanistan in 2009 and our continued work in Canada, we have supported women from diverse backgrounds—including refugees, newcomers, and underserved communities—to build confidence, strengthen resilience, improve wellbeing, and become leaders within their communities.
