Good Neighbors Mozambique

Good Neighbors Mozambique, established in 2014, is committed to fostering the healthy development of vulnerable children in rural communities. In 2015, the organization launched its first comprehensive community development project in the Chichongue locality of Maputo province, one of the region’s most vulnerable rural areas. This project served as a foundation for addressing critical needs in education, health, and water & sanitation, with the ultimate goal of fostering self-reliance within the community.

A key strategy for achieving this goal is community mobilization. We collaborate closely with committees dedicated to community development, organized by community leaders. By empowering sectoral committees in education, health, water & sanitation, and income generation, we aim to enhance community expertise and ensure the sustainability of our projects. These efforts are expected to lead to sustainable community self-reliance.

Currently, Good Neighbors Mozambique is actively working across five provinces: Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane, Sofala, and Cabo Delgado. Our main areas of focus include education, health, emergency relief, water & sanitation, and income generation. We are implementing six community development projects and conducting water and sanitation projects in the Gaza and Cabo Delgado provinces, funded by foreign governments. We continue to strive for empowering people and transforming communities.

Our Actions

  • Education: We improve access to quality primary and secondary education by introducing distance learning programs in all community development projects, constructing necessary educational infrastructure, providing teaching and learning materials, and equipping distance learning centers with information technology facilities. These efforts target all school-aged children.
  • Health: We enhance access to quality basic health services by continuing to build health centers in all community development projects, conducting health awareness campaigns and health checkups through mobile brigades in partnership with health authorities, supporting community health worker (CHW) activities, and leading community-led total sanitation (CLTS) and hygiene campaigns.
  • Emergency Relief: We conduct disaster preparedness education for community members vulnerable to natural disasters and provide essential services such as food supplies immediately after a disaster occurs. In the long term, we plan to implement Building Back Better (BBB) strategies in vulnerable project sites.
  • Income Generation: We enhance agricultural capacity in the community by conducting continuous training programs and strengthening production and sales capabilities through cooperative organizations. Additionally, we provide agricultural inputs in the form of loans to ensure stable farming activities and support market research to secure reliable sales outlets.
