A inovadora Bibliotchova

AIDGLOBAL won a competition launched by UNESCO as part of CapEFA - ‘Capacity Building in the context of Education for All in Mozambique’.

In 2010, AIDGLOBAL pioneered the concept and model of the Bibliotchova. This is a mobile library, based on a typical Mozambican tchova, for schools that don't have the physical space for a library, as part of the Literacy and Adult Education programme in ten districts of Mozambique: - Nampula Province: Mossuril, Ribaué, Monapo and Ilha de Moçambique; - Sofala Province: Nhamatanda, Caia and Gorongoza; - Inhambane Province: Funhalouro, Mabote and Pande. In 2013, the bibliotchova also arrived in Portugal, within the Juju Ant Movement, under the name of Juju's Tchova.
