After nine years of spiritual maturation and vision-casting, the Therapeutic Action Initiative Association (TAIA) was officially inaugurated on March 21, 2026.
Founded by Tegwi Solange, the association held its solemn launch in the Melen neighborhood, marking the transition of a divine mandate into a legally recognized force for social restoration and the empowerment of “pacesetting women” across the nation.
The vision becomes flesh
The primary objective of the Therapeutic Action Initiative Association (TAIA) is to equip individuals with the tools to heal others—a mission that finally “became flesh” this March in Cameroon’s capital city. Although the concept was first conceived in 2017 by Founder and CEO Tegwi Solange, the vision underwent a significant nine-year journey of refinement before its public debut.
In her inaugural speech, “Therapeutic Soso”—as she is affectionately known—traced the spark of the association to her encounters with inspirational mentors. Drawing from the transformative conferences of Timia Tandi and Jemea Elomo, and emboldened by the persistent exhortations of mentors such as Sir Roland M. Obi, Randy Joe, and Dr. Welisane Mokwe Nkeng, Solange overcame a period of hesitation to formalize her vision.
With the strategic guidance of Franca Ma-ih Sulem, who facilitated connections with government authorities, the association was officially legalized on January 27, 2026. This milestone represents the culmination of years of spiritual growth, effectively moving Solange’s “hidden lamp” from beneath the table to a hilltop.
The launch served as a platform for Solange to honor her “backbone,” her mother, Tegwi Divinesel. She expressed deep gratitude for her mother’s unwavering support and upbringing, which persisted despite the heavy stigmatization they faced from both villagers and society at large.
The event was graced by high-profile traditional and religious authorities, including Fon Gwan Mbanyamsiq III of Guzang Village, HRM Ayo III of Modelle Village, and Prophet Roland M. Obi, Chef Chevalier of The End Time Revival. Junior Senators from the National Assembly, family, and friends also attended to witness the start of this transformative journey.
A pivotal moment of the ceremony was the unveiling of the TAIA logo. The imagery features two individuals: one extending a helping hand to another, with a candle in the center symbolizing the human soul.
“When the lights of both individuals bloom, it results in a generation of healers,” Solange explained.
Supporting this sentiment, Fon Gwan Mbanyamsiq III urged attendees to be their brothers’ keepers. “The number nine signifies life, and I am glad we are here today as midwives to TAIA,” he remarked. “Therapy comes with healing, but you cannot heal if you do not move, think, or take action. This association is the action we are taking today.”
The Genesis: why TAIA?
The roots of TAIA are deeply personal. Born unable to walk or talk, Tegwi Solange was dismissed by her community as an obanje (an outcast). It was through her mother’s relentless faith and a miraculous encounter during an evangelistic crusade by Reinhard Bonnke that she regained her health.
This “second chance at life” evolved into a divine mandate of “healed to heal.” A symbolic encounter in 2013 with partially burnt books further clarified her calling—not to judge or condemn, but to act as a vessel for redemption. Today, TAIA stands as a platform to empower multidimensional women to serve as “candles of hope.” Grounded in the philosophy that “broken crayons still color beautifully,” the association is dedicated to social renaissance and giving a voice to the voiceless.
