ANA TISEWERE
On 13 January 2025, SAPOF took a crucial step towards making Ana Tisewere project being sponsored by SONNE International a reality. At Mpapa Primary School in Soche Blantyre, community leaders and school administrators gathered for a pivotal meeting. The agenda was discussing the project’s implementation and its far-reaching benefits for the community.
As the meeting progressed, the room buzzed with excitement and anticipation. Community leaders and school administrators shared their insights, asked questions, and offered valuable feedback. The consensus was clear: Ana Tisewere is a project whose time has come.
Through the power of sports, Ana Tisewere will teach school-going girls invaluable self-defense skills and life lessons. As they gather on the soccer field or volleyball court, these young athletes will not only hone their physical prowess but also gain confidence, resilience, and a sense of community.
The Ana Tisewere goes beyond sports, as it is also dedicated to promoting Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) among children. By providing a safe and supportive environment, the project’s trained facilitators will help young participants develop essential coping mechanisms and stress-management techniques.
For the community, Ana Tisewere represents a beacon of hope. By empowering young girls and promoting their well-being, the project will have a ripple effect, contributing to a healthier, more equitable society.
As the meeting drew to a close, the atmosphere was electric. Community leaders and school administrators left with a renewed sense of purpose, eager to support SAPOF in bringing Ana Tisewere to life.
