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 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.
