Change is possible ✨ The WTA Foundation is on a mission to close global women’s health gaps, starting with the life-threatening nutrition gap for moms. Every year, hundreds of thousands of preventable pregnancy-related deaths occur, with the vast majority happening in low and middle-income countries. These are lives we can save with simple, affordable solutions. In 2025, the WTA Foundation’s Global Women’s Health Fund raised funds to help support 1.5 million women with lifesaving health resources, and this year at the WTA Finals, we brought together a group of champions for women’s health to celebrate and discuss the future of this important work at the Champions for Women's Health Summit. Guests enjoyed a panel discussion hosted by Haya Sawan, Ons Jabeur, Marion BARTOLI, and Dr. Fatima AlhamIan that focused on the importance of women’s health and nutrition, and how we can work together as champions to drive impactful progress for women and mothers everywhere. The event also featured curated, nutritious food and beverages from local chef Marya Kayyal, as well as a tennis activation with Ons Jabeur. The women's health gap may seem insurmountable, but we have the solutions, the partnerships, and the momentum to make real progress. Everyone can be a Game Changer for women's health, whether that's raising awareness, contributing resources, or using your platform to advocate for equity. This isn't just about healthcare; it's about recognizing that in health, in sport, and in life, women everywhere deserve equal opportunity.
