Chairladies’ meeting, September 2021
60 chairladies met to follow up on issues raised in April and to hear about MASYAP’s programmes and how support is shared.
On 14 September 2021, MASYAP met 60 support group chairladies. The meeting followed up on issues raised at the previous meeting in April 2021, and reminded the chairladies of the importance of working with MASYAP to spread HIV/AIDS messages and of encouraging each other in religious activities.
In her welcome, Women’s Coordinator Sister Lennie Kachingwe reminded the chairladies of:
- MASYAP’s aims and objectives
- MASYAP’s programmes: HIV testing services, the Threads of Care tailoring project, microfinance and school fees
How support is shared
The meeting went well and every issue raised was discussed. On the question of sadaqah, MASYAP explained that help for members depends on the resources available. Support usually arrives a little at a time, which is why not every member can benefit at once, and the same applies to the school fees programme. MASYAP assured the chairladies that every support group will receive support from the office as far as we are able.
