The climate of war in northern Mozambique
has already resulted in more than one million displaced people. The population
tries to flee the Cabo Delgado area and seeks refuge in other Mozambican
cities, such as Lichinga. This is where the Pombalense Mozvision association operates, which has
just launched a campaign to help a group of 43 people displaced from Cabo
Delgado, who are going through enormous difficulties.
The group consists of 43 people, 19 of whom are children.
According to the president of the
association, Carla Domingues, these people will all be living in a house
without any conditions. "It has walls, windows and roof. Moreover, there
is nothing else," he says. They are displaced people who arrived
empty-handed and have received little support from people in the
neighborhood. Mozvision's goal is to
help with the purchase of food, blankets, mattresses, buckets, pots and
firewood, among other things, to try to improve the living conditions of those
who left everything behind. The arrival of winter, which has just begun, is yet
another cause for concern and Carla Domingues assures that "they need help
now". That's why Mozvision has already put forward some money to meet
urgent needs.
The crowdfunding campaign aims to raise
2,000 euros by August 20 and, who wants
to contribute, can access the mozvision association's facebook page where you
can find more information. You can also get your donation by bank transfer. The
association has organized accounting and passes receipt to individuals or
companies that want to deliver their donation.
