A defining milestone for The Hey Sis Project came with founder Asha Munodawafa being recognised with an Australia Day Young Citizen Award.
Presented as part of Australia Day celebrations, this award recognises young individuals who are making a meaningful impact within their communities.
A Recognition of Purpose
For Asha, this award reflects years of dedication to creating safe, empowering spaces for young women. Through The Hey Sis Project, she has built a platform that blends sport, mentorship, and leadership — helping girls grow in confidence both on and off the court.
This recognition is not just a personal achievement, but a celebration of the entire Hey Sis community.
Community at the Core
The Australia Day Young Citizen Award highlights the importance of grassroots leadership — the kind that starts with a simple idea and grows into something that uplifts others.
The Hey Sis Project embodies this spirit:
- Supporting young women to find their voice
- Creating inclusive and culturally safe spaces
- Building strong community connections through sport
A Moment That Inspires
Awards like this remind us that change is driven by people who are willing to show up, lead, and give back.
For every young girl involved in The Hey Sis Project, this moment is a reminder that their dreams are valid, their voices matter, and their impact is only just beginning.
Continuing the Journey
As The Hey Sis Project grows, recognitions like this serve as milestones — not endpoints.
The mission remains the same: to empower, uplift, and create opportunities for the next generation of young women.
Because real change starts in community — and grows through leadership.
