Founder Fatma Said Ahmed established the organization after working as a biochemist, building programs that teach leadership and health education through athletic activities. The group has distributed menstrual cups to more than 1,000 women on Unguja Island through its Asan project. Soccer camps have trained over 100 players and reached 5,000 young people through mentorship. The organization launched its Sports and Leadership Academy in 2024. MiMa partners with government ministries and the Zanzibar National Sports Council to shape policy discussions about gender equity. The group seeks donors and corporate partners to expand operations. Ahmed dedicates the work to Dr. Julia Kahrl, who supported the organization's early growth. [/QUOTE]
