Since 1993, World Renew has worked in Mozambique to help provide life-sustaining agricultural projects and other economic opportunities for communities facing challenges like food insecurity and limited employment.
With more than 1,500 miles of coastline, Mozambique is a southeastern African country that is rich in natural resources and minerals. Stunning harbors along the coast help boost the country’s tourism industry. But because of a recent history marked by conflict and turbulence, Mozambique has struggled to fully take advantage of its natural resources and achieve a stable economy. The country remains at the bottom of the United Nation’s Human Development Index with an average life expectancy of 46.6 years and very low-income levels. World Renew works with local partners in Mozambique to implement programs focused on efforts such as combating hunger and creating better economic opportunities for communities.
“I succeeded [as a farmer] because I invested a lot of time and labor into the field and the outcome was good, beyond expectations. Together, we are challenging ourselves and making progress at implementing these new [agricultural] practices in our own fields.”
— Estela, farmer
