About Monaliiku 

Monaliiku - Well-being and Sports for Multicultural Women is an NGO established in 2009 to create more opportunities for women from diverse backgrounds to engage in sports activities.

Our mission is to promote the health, well-being and physical activities of women and girls through sports, regardless of their religion, skin colour or cultural background and we aim to ensure and increase the equal participation of women and girls in sports and hobbies. We have expertise in understanding gender and culturally bonded characteristics related to sports environment and in integrating gender- and culturally sensitive methods.

Monaliiku is coordinating local projects and sports activities like Fit4Life, Mentor on the Move or Elderly Ladies on the Move. All these activities enhance the health and well-being of multicultural women and their families through sports. The activities vary from exercise groups to football and yoga or from swimming teaching to health education and sports events for families. We strive to engage in our activities the women who need support in integrating healthy lifestyle or sports to their everyday life.

Monaliiku is specialized in arranging activities for multicultural women and girls who face different kind of challenges in participating to sports and exercise groups due to personal restrictions that stem from their cultural background, and which are not always recognized and considered in the society. Monaliiku is experienced in finding solutions that break down the barriers and obstacles that multicultural and immigrant women face when engaging to sports groups and activities and thus preventing their social exclusion in the society.

Monaliiku also forms part of different European Union's funded projects such as the Out4In Project, Hooray and Mentor on the Move.
Monaliiku is a very multicultural workplace with the employees representing different cultures from all over the world.
