Women\u2019s International Tennis Singapore (WITS)<\/a> was founded in 2000 by Chris Clontz, to provide a daytime tennis league to ladies living in Singapore. They grew from an initial 150 players, to the 637 doubles and 63 singles players registered in Scoring 2019 Season.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span>In 2017, WITS<\/a> registered as a society in Singapore, with a constitution directing it to raise funds for chosen charities. WITS committee members are all volunteers, and donate their spare time and energy to various important causes.<\/span><\/p>\n

For several years, WITS supported a children’s charity in Cambodia called Sunrise<\/a>, and made it possible for the children to take tennis lessons and have access to rackets, balls and other tennis paraphernalia. In 2016, they decided to support charities in Singapore and chose Aidha<\/a>, an organisation that helps empower expat women to manage their finances and start businesses in their home country.<\/span><\/p>\n
