ASSOCIATION MAMYNYSOA

The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women is a critical opportunity for us to reflect on the global issue of gender-based violence and reinforce our commitment to supporting women and girls. As an association dedicated to empowering women and girls, we stand united in the fight against all forms of violence and discrimination.

Many children were seen with mucus, making it clear that promoting good habits around blowing the nos...

Children use them to reach school, parents walk them to get to work or the market, and families rely on them every day. But during the rainy season, these roads become almost impassable  muddy, slippery, and dangerous . Workers, children are forced to remove their shoes and walk barefoot through the mud just to go to work and to go to school. It’s unsafe, uncomfortable, and puts them at risk of illness or injury. At MamynySoa Association , we knew we couldn't wait for help to come from elsewhere. With only two months before the heavy rains, we took the initiative to rent a road compactor for two days and improve the most damaged parts of the road. Our goal was simple but urgent: make the road safer, especially for children. Of course, we didn’t do this alone. The project was carried out in collaboration with the municipality and the local r...
