Why World Vision is in Mozambique
Mozambique has been facing ongoing climate-related crises. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic hit while the country was still recovering from two major cyclones that destroyed infrastructures and livelihoods, affecting over 1.3 million people. As Mozambicans struggled to rebuild after the two cyclones, armed conflict in the north worsened: Hundreds of people were killed, and 670,000 more were internally displaced. Meanwhile, droughts caused severe food insecurity in the south, and further tropical storms hit the central region. Tragically, violence escalated against children during pandemic-related shutdowns: From January to September 2020, police reported that one child was a victim of sexual violence every six hours. Thanks to strong national and local partnerships, World Vision reached many of the crisis-affected children and families throughout Mozambique with support and resources. People who were forced to leave their homes due to regional violence received assistance. Families who had lost livelihoods or possessions amid the storms were provided with essentials to help them weather the challenges they faced, both for their immediate needs and as they rebuilt their lives.
We never give up on people
World Vision child sponsorship looks at all the things that prevent children from surviving and thriving in their community, and then works with that community to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together to build a better life for all children. For sponsors, it’s a personal way to show God’s love to a child in need in a life-changing way.
