World Vision Hong Kong in Mozambique (2019)

After World Vision constructed a borehole in their community, children like Maria, Alberto and Nilza can finally have easy access to clean water.

Cash-for-work activities were carried out in order to rebuild collapsed infrastructure and improve the livelihoods of those affected by the cyclones.

Luis and others are grateful for the water pumps and agricultural training that World Vision provided, which has enabled them to have enough food despite a lack of rain.

At a child friendly space set up by World Vision after cyclone Idai, children who had been affected could play and learn together.

Despite its strategic geographic location and being rich in natural resources, Mozambique remains one of the least developed countries in the world, with about two-thirds of the population living and working in rural areas. Apart from being hit by two major cyclones in 2019, Mozambique also faces political instability in the form of armed confrontations and struggles with a severe debt crisis. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has only brought even greater misery to Mozambique’s economy, and how the international community steps in to help will play a big part in how the country overcomes the adversities.

World Vision has been working in Mozambique since 1983, just 8 years after the birth of the country. Partnering with parents, like-minded organisations, faith leaders and the government, World Vision now operates 28 Area Development Programmes in Mozambique. In the aftermath of the devastating cyclones Idai and Kenneth, World Vision has also been offering relief supplies and assistance to the affected people and communities.

In 2019, World Vision Hong Kong contributed approximately HK$30.59 million to support 3 ADPs and 9 other projects in Mozambique, benefiting over 200,900 people.

Words from World Vision

There have been two major national elections in the past month of November.

A Disaster for an Entire Generation?

For many students, this year’s first day of school must have been an eagerly anticipated and somewhat trembling moment.

There is No Stopping Him

Angelito, 12, was born with cerebral palsy. Despite his condition, he is a ball of energy to his family.

2020: On Pause in Order to Go Further

Most of what we do has been brought to a halt in 2020 because of a pandemic.
