Netball
MoJoAFRICA to support the Mary Waya Netball Academy, Malawi
A pilot program to FUNDRAISE to TRANSLATE & ADAPT NETBALLMoJo into Chichewa (Malawian national language) – and help bring some of theenthusiasm and fun to girls in AFRICA
NETBALLMoJo . . . . . . is an inspiring educational resource that has been voluntarily written by top sport scientists, leading coaches andwomen with information on how to be the best netballer they can be, while also gently building con)dence to tackle speci)c female challenges
in sport & life.
The challenges in Malawi . . . The challenges facing women and girls in Malawi are very different from our young women in Europe and USA.
WSNet’s “High 5!” programme can translate and transition NETBALLMoJo to inspire young women in Malawi to be great netballers but also
adapt NETBALLMoJo to help deal with cultural issues around child marriage/’beading’, FGM and safeguarding. Malawi is not only the third
poorest country in the world but also has slow and expensive internet – making it diocult for rural communities to get this information.
MoJoAFRICA High5 – will translate & extend NETBALLMoJo into Chichewa, Malawi’s national language to cover ‘local/cultural’ issues in Africa
such as child marriage, safeguarding, FGM, basic personal hygiene & health protection – problems simply not encountered in ‘westerncommunities’.
“With help NETBALLMoJo can become a powerful tool to EDUCATE – girls in ‘third world communities’ – but more importantly it can EMPOWER girls,
overcome ‘fear of judgement’ & build conRdence through netball that can be taken into their everyday lives & careers.” Say’s Paul Reynolds,Communications Director at WSNet.
MoJoAFRICA will help focus the potential netball offers to empower girls across Africa.
Supporting Mary Waya in Malawi is just the start of a series of programmes WSNet is rolling out across AFRICA in the lead up to the next Netball

British Cycling launches its ]rst Women and Girls’ Club Toolkit
British Cycling has this week launched its )rst Women and Girls’ Club Toolkit, the latest step in its #OneinaMillion campaign to reduce thehistoric gender gap within cycling.
The toolkit, which will be distributed to each and every one of British Cycling’s 1845 aoliated clubs across the country, contains advice, tips andbest-practice examples of making the cycling club environment as appealing as possible to prospective female members.
While huge strides have been made in encouraging more women into both competitive and recreational cycling, only 18% of overall aoliated clubmembership is currently female.
In launching the toolkit, British Cycling has highlighted the barriers which research shows still exist to female participation, and outlined ways inwhich clubs can overcome these and thus increase its female membership.
