The community faces issues with cleanliness, and she has implemented several interventions to address this. A law was enacted to fine and punish those who litter, and Zoomlion workers are actively helping to maintain the area’s cleanliness.
Regarding land tensions, Anita acknowledges the efforts of security forces to ensure stability and peace. She emphasizes the importance of proper land analysis between Awutu Senya East and Ga-South, facilitated by the ministry.

Anita is a strong advocate for girl child education, proudly noting the progress in her community. She continues to support initiatives like “One Girl – One Pad,” which aims to ensure that girls have access to necessary resources.

Addressing the issue of intermittent power supply (Dumsor), when asked by the host Ama Papabi, Anita called for patience, reminding people of the years of stable electricity they have enjoyed. She is confident that the problem is being resolved and stability will return soon.

Anita also talks about her value of family time and ensures she balances her health and work commitments. She remains passionate about teaching and continues to serve her community in this capacity.
