Projects in Mozambique
In Mozambique, the main focuses of our work are on HIV/Aids and rural development. The partner organisations of terre des hommes schweiz work to champion the rights of children and young people, and to help women and girls working in rural areas.
Craft courses for young people in the countryside
Livelihoods thanks to sustainable agriculture for young farmers
Although Mozambique makes only a minimal contribution to the greenhouse effect, it is severely affected by climate change. Cyclones, floods and droughts regularly plague the country and hit the people particularly hard, as 70 percent of the population lives from small-scale farming. Together with our partner organization, we train young people and young mothers in sustainable and climate-friendly agriculture. This enables them to earn an income, secure their livelihoods and make a contribution to climate protection.
