Testimony of a Piarist in Mozambique

Current context

- Lack of investment and cooperation. - Exploitation of natural resources - Health situation (COVID)

Shared discussion

- How do you think the COVID situation has affected the students of the escolinha? - How has it conditioned the life of the families and communities served by the parish?

Current Context

Armed conflict in the province

Welcoming the affected people

Through our Piarist presence, the population of the parish has welcomed more than 300 people fleeing violence.

A conflict that started in 2017 is raging in the Cabo Delgado region. More than 700,000 people have been forced to flee the area.

How can we join in?
