What we do
Poverty Relief & Infra Structure
We improve living conditions by investing funds in nutrition, basic housing and small-scale community infrastructure:

Village Water Wells
Drilling and building of water wells to reduce walking distance to a safe water source to under 2 hours and reduce waiting times (half day long) In Mozambique, 57% of the population has no access to safe water – in rural areas, this statistic worsens to 70% of the population
Family Housing
Recovery and reconstruction of family huts, including equipment, sanitation and limited furniture & equipment Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world – Family Housing brings shelter, health and dignity
There are 1.5 million orphans, 500k orphans of HIV/AIDS – Urgent need of care and sheltering while meals bring very poor children to schools.”

Only 44% of students complete elementary school and 60% of adults cannot read and write, higher amongst women.
Only 20% of students attend secondary school and university enrolment is under 1%.”
