At A+K, we strive to create equal opportunities for everyone. This goal has connected us to amazing people and mothers like Mutinta, who provides for her family with the income she receives from Alive and Kicking. In addition to brothers and sisters, Mutinta recently gained a family member – a baby daughter. Mutinta faces the additional barrier of deafness that makes finding work even harder for her.
We feel incredibly lucky to have Mutinta working at our centre in Zambia, where she has worked for over SEVEN years now! Despite any challenges that Mutinta has faced, she continuously radiates with joy and energy. From what she tells us, her daughter is quite the copycat and radiates this same happiness.
Additionally, we want to highlight some of the amazing women who we are honoured to work with in celebration of Women’s History Month. We also want to acknowledge the inequalities that women face in sports. Our friend and former co-worker Sana Barclay has recently started the campaign VS. Bar to combat the inequalities that women athletes and fans face in sports. She held her first pop-up pub quiz event at the beginning of this month, and as the event’s charity partner, we had the opportunity to help out. As we knew it would, the night was a huge success, and we know Sana will continue to do amazing things as her campaign continues!
In times like this, it is SO important to remain kind to each other. At A+K, we want to take a moment now to think of those who may struggle a bit more on mother’s day.
Whatever your situation, we wish you a happy Mother’s Day here at A+K.
The A+K Team
