Assisting destitute and orphaned children and the elderly in Mozambique is ‘Ground Zero’ work.  We personally visit the homes to assess the situation after the local secretary has informed us of the need.

The orphans, mostly cared for by their elderly grandparents, normally have not attended school for years, and are well behind in their school work.  Experience has taught us it is virtually impossible for them to catch up and enter into an academic career, we try and get them into a technical school or vocational training centre as soon as possible.

Mozambique is a wonderful fertile country so to get agricultural training is an excellent possibility for them.  One such Training Institute has been established by SASOL more than 4 hours drive into the communal area near a tiny village called Mabote in the Inhambane Province.  A lovely young girl, Zelia is attending this Institute, and she is one of the children we are caring for.  Fortunately for her, because of her excellent school attendance record, her total commitment in all her school work and school activities, she was top of the school’s list when an NGO offered the school a bursary for their best student.  We in turn, assist her with clothes, pocket money and moral support etc.

Yes, education is on everyone’s lips in Mozambique, and there is a tremendous surge to develop this sector in fast track time!

We plan to build more schools and a clinic in the near future.  Watch this space!

We were delighted to donate a desk top computer to Caxane school, Inhambane Province.  They have an enrollment of 600 pupils.  As there is no electricity there at the moment, we also gave them an inverter and battery.

She used to be called ‘Granny Alone’ as she was trying to survive all on her own.  Since we took care of her and united her with her daughter, she insists that her name is Mariana, as she’s not alone anymore.
