Mozambique
A vast country, a rural majority, and a young population
Mozambique’s combined land area is roughly comparable to Washington, Oregon, and California combined — with our five partners spread from Nampula in the north to Chizavane in the south.
About 2 out of 3 people in Mozambique live on less than $1 a day.
Overwhelming Child Poverty: Roughly 77% of children in Mozambique—around 13 million—live in multidimensional poverty, lacking access to basic necessities like clean water, adequate shelter, and nutrition.
Millions in Need of Humanitarian Aid: Over 3.4 million children in Mozambique require urgent humanitarian assistance due to recurring natural disasters, climate shocks, and displacement.
Barriers to Education & School Completion: While primary school enrollment has improved, fewer than half of all children complete primary education due to school shortages, long walking distances, and early entry into the labor force.
