Help Muslim Women Take Action to Build a Safer Community


Help Muslim Women Take Action and Build A Safer Community

In today’s tense social climate, Muslim women are often the most visible and vulnerable targets for hate-motivated attacks. Help provide meaningful athletic and self defense opportunities to educate, inspire, and protect.


Your support provides access to a groundbreaking athletic program that is vital for today's Muslim woman

Sister Fit is the only fitness and self-defense program catered specifically to Muslim women in the GTA and surrounding area. We teach women and girls how to take care of their physical and mental health through culturally sensitive group fitness and nutrition classes. Classes in boxing, Muay Thai, Arnis (stick fighting), and boot camp style workouts provide unique opportunities for practicing martial arts and learning practical, street-wise skills -- all while strengthening the bonds of faith and sisterhood.



Create safe spaces to inspire, take action, and educate

Since its inception in December 2014, Sister Fit has provided athletic opportunities to hundreds of Muslim women in mosques and community centers across the Greater Toronto Area. The demand for our unique services grows everyday and your help is needed in order to improve and continue this essential programming.

With your help, Sister Fit will be able to (1) provide safe, functional facility space and proper equipment for ongoing classes (2) provide fitness education and certification opportunities to Muslim women who are dedicated to athleticism and community engagement, and (3) provide dedicated and skilled martial arts students the opportunity to receive an official grading from Arnis Grand Master (mang) Fil V. Buena of the
Philippines.


Help fund a culture of fitness, athleticism, and ambition for Muslim women

With your help, Muslim women from communities in need will have access to athletic opportunities in an environment that honours their religious convictions, is attuned to their unique cultural experiences, and encourages engagement in fitness and martial arts with the intention of long-term commitment and success. Your investment in Muslim women is an investment for a safer, stronger community.
