On January 30, 2026, an agreement was signed between AIDGLOBAL and the Japanese Embassy in Mozambique, through the Community Projects and Human Security Assistance Program (APC), which aims to benefit children currently attending the five Community Schools in the District of Chibuto, supported by the NGO, namely those in Malehice, Chiconelane, Maivene, Bairro 25 de Junho Unit 2, and Bairro 25 de Junho Unit 4. The infrastructure construction project will also benefit the human resources of the Schools and the educational community.
The agreement also provides for the construction of five classrooms, which will have electrical installations, sheds, and will be equipped with tables and chairs, including the construction of three latrines for children in three community schools to ensure sanitation and hygiene.
The investment will also guarantee the acquisition of five water tanks for rainwater harvesting, which will provide an additional source of water, a natural resource that is becoming increasingly scarce due to climate change, which causes prolonged droughts and intense rains, causing the Limpopo River to overflow and flood.
The communities where the schools are located will be able to use these classrooms/activity rooms for meetings with parents, meetings with the Community Management Council, training, and other purposes.
The aim of this infrastructure is to provide children with a better quality education, with access to sanitation, good hygiene conditions, and a safe environment where they can play, learn, and grow.
Present at the signing ceremony, on Friday, were AIDGLOBAL Project Technician Jéssica Sitoe, APC Program Consultant Mauro Carimo, Second Secretary of the Japanese Embassy in Mozambique Shoji Misake, Head of the Economic Cooperation Sector of the Japanese Embassy in Mozambique Okada Ginga, and Japanese Ambassador to Mozambique Hamada Keiji.
