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.
