Aminata Makou Traore is a Taekwondoist and the President of APJS Mali, a partner organization from the Peacemakers Project. While sport remains a « poor relation » in Mali, she describes the actions of APJS to accelerate social development in Mali.
« We support the projects of Malian athletes, in particular for their conversion. We help out-of-school children to bring them, through sport, an activity, and an education. We organize seminars for business leaders to convince them of the importance of investing in sports. We are at the origin of an International Forum on Sport, in which Peace and Sport has participated since 2019. But we never lose sight of the specific context of Mali, a country where agriculture still needs a vast amount of manual labour and thousands of villages lack drinking water. We are the first association to bring sport for women to neighbourhoods, through a program called “Sport between neighbours”. We also organized a collective march, the “Parcours des Yelenis”, in collaboration with the Olympic Committee of Mali. »

Anjana is 23 years old and she is a coach involved in the Peacemakers Project at Naandi Foundation. « What I love about my job is that I can bring a smile to the faces of so many Nanhi Kalis (Nanhi Kali is a Hindi language term which means Little Bud/Flower and it refers to the underprivileged girls of the Nanhi Kali programme). When I see them playing with passion, I feel very happy. I met so many professional athletes through this programme, which I couldn’t even have imagined otherwise. The athletes I have met have inspired me a lot.I was always been interested in sports, but through this programme I was able to discover it in a new way. I want to learn a lot about football and other sports and I want to achieve a lot in the field. In the future, I want to become a very good coach so that I can teach to a maximum number of girls. »
