Promote rural education in southern Mozambique

We are proud of how, thanks to the project, that young people from very poor backgrounds in our area of operation, the rural districts of Boane and Namaacha, are managing to complete their courses. Which means they will have a bright professional future ahead of them. In addition, the young participants, apart from studying, dedicate their free time to working for the community, alongside the most vulnerable people. Real cases have included young people who study to become nurses and, at the same time, as a thank you for the support received, have volunteers at the Massaca Health Unit. Also noteworthy are the cases of students who study Sports Sciences, and who, whilst studying, volunteer to organise sports activities alongside orphaned and abandoned children who live at the Casa de Gaiato in Mozambique.

A very important aspect of this project is the fight for gender equality. Therefore, we are very happy that more and more women are joining vocational training courses or university courses. Cases like Rita's or Inês, who, with a lot of willpower and effort, are studying a nursing course and an accounting course, in order to be able to build a better future for themselves.

We are convinced that women will play a major role in the future of the rural areas of southern Mozambique, so we are promoting opportunities for young women to participate in training processes in the area.
