MOZ 20 - THE POOR WILL ALWAYS BE MY FAVORITE
Project Location
The project takes place in the Mangunde mission, a rural region in the Chibava district of Sofala province in the parish of San Francesco d’Assisi.
According to the 2017 population census, the Chibava district has a total population of 135,202, with a young population (43% under 15), predominantly female, and predominantly rural. The Mangunde region is very poor; people live on subsistence agriculture, with no prospect of steady employment due to the lack of factories and any public facilities.
The only employees are school teachers and health center staff. Access roads are very poor, making transit difficult during the rains, the local market is very poor, and internet connections are very poor.
Project description
This project aims to address the immediate and real needs of many vulnerable people, particularly widows, the elderly, single women, and the sick, by delivering a monthly food kit with basic necessities, supporting them with transportation if the sick need to be transferred to another hospital, purchasing hygiene supplies and clothing, and assisting them with the construction or repair of their homes.
Objectives
- Respond to the poverty emergency by helping people obtain daily food and basic necessities.
- Help patients requiring specialized medical care by supporting their transfer to a referral hospital.
