AKDN | Mozambique

We are working to improve the living conditions of small farmers by providing opportunities for rural youth, increasing productivity and implementing sustainable business models.

The Juntos! initiative helps CSOs achieve institutional, financial and programmatic sustainability, offering training courses and helping them to create their own blended learning content to share. AKF also strengthens village development organisations.

AKDN and the Ismaili community have donated and delivered goods such as rice, medicines, clothes, seeds, construction tools and materials. These support those affected by flooding and cyclones to recover and rebuild. We are also involved in COVID-19 mitigation efforts.

Our investments in tourism, textile production and broadband infrastructure provide training, employment, investment risk commitment and intercontinental Internet services. We have also mobilised 300 community-based savings groups to improve financial security.

At the Aga Khan Academy Maputo, exceptional students are given financial aid if needed. They follow the International Baccalaureate curriculum, including sports, creative activities and service, and are educated to become leaders.

With life expectancy in Cabo Delgado under 40 years, we are training health personnel, establishing nutrition groups and providing nutritional screening, delivering AIDS awareness education and organising vaccinations.
