Alinafe Sani-Chimwele

Malawi

Alinafe Sani-Chimwele is passionate about fighting HIV and AIDS. She was born in Malawi on July 7 1987. During her high school years, Alinafe found the stage extremely intriguing and fascinating and it was then that her passion for drama and acting was born. She went on to pursue a Degree in Drama and English Literature at the University of Malawi Chancellor College.

Working in collaboration with fellow Chancellor College students, students from UCLA and people living with HIV and AIDS, Alinafe became involved in a documentary project called “This Is My Story”. It was during this time that she developed a passion for fighting the HIV and AIDS pandemic which affected so many of her people in Malawi and the world over.

Her decision to join Drama for Life was based solely on her desire to combine her acting and facilitation skills with her passion to contribute to the fight against HIV and AIDS. She believes that it is only through active participation that the problem might somewhat be solved.
