Plan Mozambique: what we do

Plan’s work in Mozambique covers 4 core areas, all of which are rooted in the rights of the child:

• primary health care
• primary education and early childhood education
• children’s vulnerability to abuse and disasters
• social and economic capacities.

This programme helps to improve access to primary health care – from supporting the construction of health centres to opening boreholes in villages and providing safe drinking water.

Plan Mozambique

Plan has been operating in Mozambique since 2007, helping poor children to access their rights to health, education, protection and a sustainable livelihood.

Currently, we are working with the communities of Marrumuana, Madonga and Xuxululo, Magaiça and Guipombo to build and equip 5 schools, which will benefit  2,500 pupils who previously attended lessons under trees  without hygiene and sanitary facilities.

We are also strengthening community based health and supporting the establishment and training of community health committees to become health improvement facilitators in their communities.

Supporting the Needs of Children and Teachers in Mozambique

"I didn't know floods could be like this."

Those are the words of 7-year-old Domingo from Chilembene community describing the floods that have disrupted the start of his school year. The floods have submerged schools, homes, and hospitals in the Chokwe district of Gaza Province.

As the flood-induced humanitarian crisis continues to take its toll on thousands of communities across the country, Plan International has stepped in to support government efforts through the provision of 10,000 learning kits.

Life seems to be returning to normalcy in the flood-hit town of Chókwè. Electricity and water have been restored and the community is cleaning up in the aftermath of the worst floods in 13 years.

Despite these recovery efforts, Chókwè residents are still faced with the reality of dwindling food stocks, disease outbreaks, and the cost of rebuilding destroyed social and economic infrastructure.

Children in Mozambique go back to school after floods

At Nkonne Primary School near the town of Chókwè in Mozambique, books and desks were destroyed by the recent floods which forced the school to close down for two weeks. Children and teachers have now returned and are trying to see what can be salvaged. Plan is helping the school get back to normal by providing 'learners kits' with exercise books and other items the children need.

Widespread flooding has left a trail of destruction in Mozambique. The floods, the heaviest since 2000, have submerged towns in Gaza Province, destroying roads, bridges, schools and hospitals.
