Mother Theresa wa Moletjie restores smiles

Anna Mametsa is from Moletjie Mabokelele, Limpopo Province in South Africa. Popularly known as Mother Theresa wa Moletjie, Anna donates school uniforms, shoes, sanitary pads, and ordinary and colouring pens to those in need.

“My mission is to restore smiles and instil confidence in our learners. I collect pre-loved clothes and food parcels for the needy, a small gesture that makes a big difference. Recognising the efforts of top-performing learners is my way of showing appreciation and fostering motivation. As part of my commitment to empowering women, I am attending a skills course and raising funds through baking”, she shared.

A nurse by profession, Anna is proud to have won multiple awards, including the Community Builder Award 2006 and the Community Builder in Health Awards 2023, and feels honoured to have been awarded as a Community Builder by Devoted Magazine.

“Many people say nurses are rude and cruel, but I am different. People love what I do to change our community’s lives. My son was bullied at school by a learner who used to take his pocket money and food. I went to school to complain, but my anger turned into tears when I found out that learners are struggling, I believe that things can change for the better if we all hold hands”, she concluded.
