WIMSA is the ‘Working Group of Indigenous Minorities in Southern Africa' – a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) working to help the San; the first people of southern Africa (who are sometimes still referred to as ‘Bushmen').

WIMSA lobbies on behalf of San groups living in Namibia, South Africa, Botswana, and Angola. It provides the San with opportunities to make their voice heard and carries out advocacy and campaigning work at a local, national and international level.

WIMSA also assists San communities and individuals to set up their own development projects, to build democratic leadership structures, to access formal education and to protect and promote San culture and heritage.
