Support for people affected by Cyclone Filipo continues in Mozambique
20-06-2024
At the beginning of June, ADPP Mozambique and Humana officially launched the humanitarian action project in the province of Maputo, which aims to contribute to the improvement of living conditions of part of the population affected by Tropical Cyclone Filipo, which devastated several areas of the country last March.
The project is implemented by ADPP Mozambique in coordination with the Gender, Children and Social Action Provincial Department, the Education Provincial Department and the National Institute of Disaster Management and funding from Humana Fundación Pueblo para Pueblo.
This humanitarian response project includes the distribution among 590 families of clothing kits, non-perishable food (oil, rice, flour, etc.) and hygiene products. After Filipo passed, these nearly 600 families were housed in shelters in the neighborhoods of Bunhica, Fomento, Nkobe, Nwamatibjana, Sikwama and Tsalala.
Support for 11 educational centers affected by Cyclone Filipo
At the same time, school supplies and hygiene products will be distributed among 3,250 students and 100 teachers from a total of 11 educational centers.
The ADPP and Humana project also includes the rehabilitation of five classrooms, six latrines and six water systems, as well as the creation or revitalization of 14 Disaster Risk Reduction and Child Protection Committees.
Damiao Mabote, Program Officer of ADPP Mozambique, explains that 'the selection of people involved in the project has been based on a criterion that seeks to prioritize men and women in vulnerable situations, boys and girls without families and people with some type of of disability'.
Catarina Juvencio, one of the victims, 52 years old and from the Fomento neighborhood, assures that it is 'a considerable amount of food and everyday products that will alleviate my daily life and that of my family'.
