Matilda Mwaba – Sports Education Fund

The fund is a project by NOWSPAR to support the continued legacy of our founder Matilda Mwaba (1957-2021).

The fund is focused on providing scholarships for a diversity of education opportunities for girls and women in sport.

We recognise and support education in its many formats including school based, sport license courses, apprenticeships and internships among many options.

Matilda cared about expanding the choices that women and girls have to engage in the sports sector at all levels including for performance, leisure, and livelihood.

Economic capacity is a major barrier to education progress, yet, sport education remains underfunded by the public and private scholarship initiatives. The fund therefore offers a practical intervention to facilitate girls and women’s access.
