It is a privilege to recognize an extraordinary woman whose dedication, leadership, and spirit have helped shape our community. Today, we proudly present SAFSI’s Distinguished Woman of the Year for 2026 to Mrs Angeles Belleza.

Mrs Belleza, fondly known to many of us as Tita Angie, has been a member of SAFSI since 1997. For nearly three decades, she has generously shared her time, energy, and talents with our organization.

Throughout the years, Tita Angie has served SAFSI in many important roles, including President, Vice President, Program Director, and Adviser. In every position she has held, her dedication and commitment have been truly unparalleled. She leads not only with strength and determination, but also with warmth and heart.

Her energy is infectious—when Tita Angie is around, you can feel the enthusiasm and positivity she brings to every event and activity. And of course, her legendary sense of humour keeps us smiling and reminds us that community should always be filled with joy and laughter.

Beyond her service to SAFSI, she is also a very much-loved mother, grandmother, and friend to many. Her kindness, generosity, and willingness to help others have touched countless lives within our community.

As we celebrate International Women’s Month, it is especially meaningful to honour a woman who has given so much of herself in service to others. Tita Angie truly deserves this recognition for her many contributions to SAFSI and to the wider community.

Tita Angie, thank you for your leadership, your passion, and your unwavering commitment. We are grateful for everything you have done and continue to do.

Please join us in congratulating SAFSI’s Distinguished Woman of the Year 2026 — Mrs Angeles Belleza.
