Salsabeel Tantoush
From being an amateur football player to a short-distance runner, Salsabeel Tantoush had an early start in sport from the age of four. She has always considered sport to be a vital factor in her physical and mental development. Today, she is a junior software engineer with a passion for social entrepreneurship, and she strongly believes in the power of sport to address social challenges and create lasting positive impact for younger generations.
Kafza is a youth-led initiative that encourages girls aged 8-20 to discover their passion for sport and adopt an active lifestyle. By addressing the lack of safe spaces and societal support for women’s sport in Libya, the project envisions a future where every girl has the opportunity to thrive through sport.
The initiative connects girls with local sports clubs and events, provides educational content to raise awareness among parents, and hosts summer camps featuring female role models. Through regular workshops, community engagement and digital outreach, Kafza inspires ambition, builds confidence and fosters a supportive environment for girls in sport.
Since its launch, Kafza has built a community of more than 600 girls actively engaging in workshops and educational activities. Looking ahead, the project aims to expand beyond Tripoli, strengthen its social media platforms, and grow into the leading name associated with girls’ sport in Libya and beyond.
