The Ministry of Sport and Community Development's Sport for Development and Peace Unit hosted the Let's Talk Sport for Peace Series at the Maloney Community Centre on January 23, 2025. 🎉🎉
The purpose of the event was to obtain the perspectives of community members on the programmes they would like to see implemented in their community, collaborate on future community initiatives, and explore how sport can build stronger communities, drive sustainable development, and foster lasting peace. The feedback received will be used to shape future sport initiatives that align with the needs and aspirations of the Maloney.

#FlashbackFriday
One week ago, we launched our #MPowerTT 2025 programme. The event was led by the Honourable Shamfa Cudjoe-Lewis, Minister of Sport and Community Development. Also in attendance was the Honourable Brian Manning, Minister in the Ministry of Finance, programme stakeholders, masters, mentors and the 79 selected participants for the 2025 cohort.
MPowerTT focuses on male development within focused communities via guided discussions, positive male mentorship, apprenticeships and life skills coaching based on four tents: #Empower, #Embrace, #Educate and #Elevate.
Our 79 young men from Trinidad (50) and Tobago (29) now have an excellent opportunity to lead rewarding lives and become respected members of their community and country.
Here is a look back!
