WORLD VISION IN MOZAMBIQUE WORLD VISION IS A CHRISTIAN ORGANISATION FOUNDED IN 1950, WHOSE EFFORTS FOR POVERTY REDUCTION AND ITS CAUSES HAVE BEEN WIDELY ACKNOWLEDGED IN MORE THAN 90 COUNTRIES WHERE IT CURRENTLY OPERATES World Vision seeks to respond to the needs expressed by the communities through sustainable, integrated and long life development projects, without renouncing to assist the victims of conflicts or disasters through programmes of emergency aid which boost access to shelter, health care and food. Since World Vision-Mozambique started operating in Mozambique in 1983, it has provided aid to thousands of displaced people during the period of civil war. In 1992, finally in the context of peace, World Vision-Mozambique par ticipated in the
resettlement of 1.5 million refugees and maintained the commitment made with the communities and, in par ticular, with Mozambican children, of building a better future. Thus World Vision-Mozambique has been adapting itself to the context of the country, participating in its progress and challenges, and always looking for new strategies to meet the needs of the poorest people in an effective and integrated way, while maintaining its [World Vision] active role in improving the living conditions of about
3.5 million Mozambicans who directly or indirectly benefit from the programmes and projects in the following areas:
Education Health Nutrition Advocacy and Child Protection Emergency and rehabilitation
“They [World Vision-Mozambique] drilled a well near my home (about one kilometer) where I now fetch water. I no longer fetch water at night and since there are no long queues I can go there any time. The school where I now go was constructed by volunteers from the community and from World Vision. The people of the community, as well as my uncle, produced bricks and helped constructing classrooms. They [World Vision-Mozambique] have helped with other materials such as cement, zinc sheets.. and put school desks. My uncle is part of a group of peasants trained by World Vision. They have increased the production of vegetables, cabbages, carrots.. a part of this we eat and another is sold�. Lurdes Ntapalapa, 14 years old, Nihessiue

MOZAMBIQUE Population: 25.20 million Population less than 18 years old: 53.6% Annual population growth: 2.7 Human Development Rate: 0.327 (rated at 185º of 187 countries in 2013) Female literacy: 33% Average life expectancy at birth: 50 years Maternal mortality: 408 per each 100,000 newborn Neonatal mortality: 34 (per 1,000 live births) Prevalence of HIV among adults from 15 to 49: 11.5% Infant mortality (children under 5): 103/1000 Infant mortality (children under 1): 72 /1000 Since the signing of the Peace Agreements in 1992, Mozambique is regarded as one of the most successful history case of post-war reconstruction and economic recovery in Africa. The country held its fourth peaceful presidential and legislative elections in December 2009, reaffirming its commitment to political stability, democratic governance and national reconciliation. In spite of many efforts, a lot of social challenges remain. Mozambique continues to be one of the world’s poorest countries and remained in 172 of 177 in the 2007/08 UNDP Human Development Report, and in 185 of 187 in the same report in 2013. The vulnerability of the country to combined effects of following three factors is underlying to all of these challenges: prolonged natural disasters and catastrophes, high incidence of HIV/AIDS among the working-age population and low capacity in the provision of basic social services. Mozambique suffers from recurrent droughts, particularly in semi-arid areas, which lead to food and nutritional insecurity and to low access to clean drinking water and basic sanitation in the affected areas. On the other hand, the country is prone to sudden emergencies, such as hurricanes and floods, resulting in loss of farms, cholera outbreaks and high levels of diarrhea among children, especially in rural areas.

“2013 was an exciting year for World Vision-Mozambique! In the spring our organisation stretched out its hand to hundreds of thousands of people affected by floods, responding to humanitarian emergencies, in Gaza province, by distributing food and non-food products. This year was also a celebration year! We celebrated our 30th anniversary with a new postage stamp and a gala dinner entitled ‘Together for the Child Well-being’. The event – which we would like to see taking place every year – was attended by distinguished representatives of Mozambican society and, in combination with an initiative for raising funds at national level, generated around 30,000 USD in cash and in kind, which was generously donated by companies. The raised funds are being applied in the improvement of access to clean water in more vulnerable communities in Gaza. To all of you, we express once more our deepest gratitude! After many years of enormous volunteer service, some of our oldest members of the Advisory Council retired. Their support and contribution will always be acknowledged and worthy of our highest appreciation. New members of the Advisory Council, with different professional profiles, integrated the Advisory Council and started right from the beginning, to contribute to the continuous search for strengthening our governance. Staff training continued this year, which will contribute to the efficiency and effectiveness of our programmes in the course of the next fiscal year. 2013 was an exceptional year for World Vision-Mozambique and the stage is set for more and better programmes in the years that lie ahead. Always for the child well-being.”

BISHOP DINIS SENGULANE “It is with great hope that I look into the future of World Vision-Mozambique. I look into the future of World Vision-Mozambique both as a great challenge and as a great opportunity. We look into this world that is so in need of healing. And World Vision is like the hand of God healing the world, healing the wounds of the world. It cannot heal the world completely, but, at least, it keeps on healing some wounds and we hope this action can maintain the world. This is how I see things when I look into the endurance that has arisen in the world and to the great needs of Mozambique. I think that World Vision-Mozambique is, with all humility but at the same time pride, the hand of God healing the world”.
Bishop Dinis Sengulane “Today I have a large vegetable garden and provide vegetables to the entire village of Muchamba. The profits I made allowed JERCIA COSSA, 11 YEARS OLD, GAZA PROVINCE
me to purchase a cereal mill which is being helpful for reduction of distances that the people of the village travelled over to grind their cereals.” Fanuel Manganimanja, farmer in Tete province.

WHAT DO WE DO? WorldVision-Mozambique currently helps more than 3.5 million people through 32 sustainable community development programmes named Area Development Programmes (ADPs) and other private financing programmes and projects. Child Sponsorship Program allows financing of all 32 ADPs, promoting enlarged and sustainable economic and social transformation, which is focused on child well-being.This is the main operation strategy of World Vision-Mozambique and it integrates several areas of action, always investing in training for the local management of development so as to ensure the ownership of programmes and the involvement of communities in their own development.The private financing programmes named special projects allow World Vision-Mozambique to complement its intervention, responding to specific needs of the communities.The following can be considered as examples: Global Fund (Malaria), OGUMANIHA, Ocluvela, among others.
WHAT DO WE INTEND? WorldVision-Mozambique dreams of a Mozambique where children can enjoy their rights and live in Love and Peace.With the new strategy,World Vision-Mozambique intends to contribute, in significant and measurable way, to the well-being of 1 million vulnerable boys and girls (including registered children).
TARGETS Children recognize improvement of the rates of well-being Increased number of well-nourished children Increased number of protected children from diseases and infections Increased number of children who know how to read and write at the age of 11

O QUE FAZEMOS?
By 2015,WorldVision-Mozambique will contribute, in a significant and measurable way, to the well-being of one million vulnerable boys and girls.
CHILD WELL-BEING WORLD VISION HOPES THAT ALL CHILDREN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE LIFE IN ALL ITS FULLNESS. AS AN ORGANISATION FOCUSED ON CHILDREN, SUSTAINED CHILD WELL-BEING WITHIN THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES IS FTHE HEART OF ITS MISSION AND VISION After more than 60 years working in order to improve the lives of children, World Vision defined and framed its intervention model through the Aspirations for the Child Well-being. Guided by these aspirations, the organisation works with partners in different countries, empowering children and communities so that they can be the agents of change, and promoting resilient and safe families in order to contribute to effective results and measurable outcomes of child well-being.
together with families, communities and partners. The results guide the strategy of World Vision worldwide and, consequently, the operative and programmatic options that World Vision-Mozambique assumes at national level.
These aspirations describe the conditions that World Vision wants to see in the life of all children so that they can experience life in its fullness, integrating, in a holistic perspective, various aspects such as physical and mental health, positive relationships established by them and the context that gives them safety, social justice and promotes their participation in civil society.
CHILDREN ARE EDUCATED FOR LIFE
The Results of Child Well-Being offer a practical definition of how World Vision perceives the well-being of children describing its contribution to the well-being of children and serving as support for the aspirations. These results are not meant to impose a definition of a good life for the children, but rather use them as catalysts for action
ASPIRATIONS OF CHILD WELL-BEING: CHILDREN ENJOY GOOD HEALTH
CHILDREN EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF GOD AND OF THEIR NEIGHBOURS CHILDREN ARE CHERISHED, PROTECTED, AND THEY PARTICIPATE
13
ASPIRAÇÕES E RESULTADOS
CHILDREN ENJOY GOOD HEALTH Good health is the foundation on which a promising future is built. World Vision-Mozambique helps mothers and children to achieve good levels of nutrition, protect themselves from infections and diseases and have access to essential health care through its programmes and projects. On the other hand, access to nutritious food is an essential foundation for healthy growth of Mozambican children in the same way access to safe drinking water and good hygiene are essential for physical well-being of these children. RESULTS: Children are well nourished Children are protected from infections, diseases and injuries Children and their caretakers have access to essential health services
THE CHILDREN ARE EDUCATED FOR LIFE Life without education is a life without opportunities. World Vision helps children, especially those who are in particular vulnerability situations, to get access to quality education so they may reach functional levels of literacy, calculation and essential skills for their future life. When children are able to read, they demonstrate greater ability to understand and defend their rights and those of their relatives. RESULTS Children read, write and have numeracy skills Children make good judgments and are able to protect themselves, manage emotions and communicate ideas Teenagers are ready to seize economic opportunities Children complete basic education
CHILDREN EXPERIENCE THE LOVE OF GOD AND OF OTHERS Both physical care and spiritual care are essential for the general well-being of all boys and girls. The spiritual education helps children to shape their vision of themselves, of others and of God. RESULTS Children experience the love of God in an environment that acknowledges their freedom Children enjoy positive relationships with their peers, colleagues, family members and community Children take care of their peers and environment Children have hope and a vision for the future
THE CHILDREN ARE CHERISHED, PROTECTED, AND THEY PARTICIPATE Children need to be cherished by communities and families. Cherished children who feel safe grow in self-esteem and are more likely to be successful. On the other hand, children need to be able to say what they think about the decisions that affect their lives. Families, schools and communities should ensure that nothing will hinder their full, healthy and happy growth. Protecting children from abuse, exploitation and neglect is fundamental for complying with their rights and is one of the basic ways of justice expression. RESULTS Children are cherished in a family and community that care for and protect them and are equipped with safe playgrounds. Parents or teachers are capable of sustaining the children Children are celebrated and registered at birth The participation of children in decisions that affect their lives is heard and respected
CHILD WELL-BEING TARGETS The targets established by World Vision-Mozambique for the well-being are crucial for the development of its work and for the achievement of the aspirations of child well-being. They are objectives that reflect the strategic priorities at national level in accordance with the needs expressed by the communities that we serve.
TARGETS: Children acknowledge improvement of the rates of well-being (ages of 12-18) Increased number of well-nourished children (ages of 0-5) Increased number of children protected from diseases and infections (ages of 0-5) Increased number of children who know how to read and write at the age of 11
15
TARGETS The establishment of these targets allows World Vision-Mozambique to focus on, align and evaluate the effectiveness of its strategies, programmes and investment of resources by providing evidence of World Vision-Mozambique´s contribution for the results of child well-being and ensuring clarity and transparency before the children, communities and donors we serve. The targets described above are integrated in the national strategy for 2013-2015 period and are in force in operational planning and in the corresponding mechanisms of monitoring and evaluation through
TARGET 1
CHILDREN ACKNOWLEDGE IMPROVEMENT IN THE RATES OF WELL-BEING Recent data show that approximately 52% of Mozambican girls marry before reaching adulthood and 18% of these marry before the age of 15. On the other hand, there are still thousands of children between the age of 7 and 17 who are forced to participate in some kind of labour, either domestic help that is overmuch for their age or working as maids or sellers in the informal market, which makes it impossible for them to devote themselves to and continue school and also to live their childhood in its fullness. These children, especially girls, are particularly vulnerable to sexual, verbal, physical and psychological abuse. In order to build a better future for Mozambican children, World Vision-Mozambique is committed to promoting justice, seeking, through advocacy and child protection strategies, to tackle the structural and systemic poverty causes and enable change on policies, practices and attitudes that perpetuate inequalities and disregard of human rights, in general, and the rights of children, in particular. Thus, advocacy is a way to influence decision-makers, legislations and behaviours, acting at two complementary levels: political influence and empowerment of citizens through promotion of dialog and negotiation. In this context, the priorities of World Vision-Mozambique include advocacy strategies led by children themselves and by the communities they live in, thus contributing to the formulation of fair policies as well as to the implementation and monitoring of existing policies in order to ensure that the rights of children are respected. For this purpose, World Vision-Mozambique has been developing response capacity of the communities, adults, young people and children, enhancing their awareness about the protection of children and their rights and promoting their involvement and interaction with policy-makers.
WHAT DO WE INTEND? Contribute to a child friendly environment and to the improvement of child protection through: More and better involvement and dialog between communities (including children) and the policy-makers More opportunities for the children to grow up and be protected by their families and communities This target reflects the commitment of World Vision-Mozambique in raising awareness, build capacity and inform about the rights of the child and on the principles and mechanisms for child protection. On the other hand, in a context where sexual abuse, domestic violence against children and early marriage are still alarming challenges, it becomes crucial to strengthen community mechanisms for the protection of children and ensure their well-being. Recent results show that the actions taken have promoted significant changes, in particular with respect to greater awareness and collective accountability for the well-being of children as well as greater appreciation of the importance and role of advocacy in improving their living conditions. Thus, there is higher community knowledge about the laws and other legal instruments, and greater participation of all, including children themselves, in the dissemination and protection of their rights. . SECTORS INVOLVED Advocacy and Child Protection
17
MAIN ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT IN 2013: Adoption, by District Services of Education, Youth and Technology of Mandjacaze, of a regulation prohibiting students to do domestic help in teachers homes which will benefit children from 3 ADPs of Mandjacaze, Promotion of Child Participation through Children’s Parliaments Training and support to Advocacy Councils in the development of advocacy led by the community Awareness raising and prevention of early marriages in partnership with other civil society organisations such as UNICEF, ACTIONAID, ROSC, Child Network, etc. Reproduction and distribution of simplified informative material about the legislation regarding child protection Training on legislation concerning child protection in partnership with the Centres for Supporting Women and Children Victim of Violence (Gabinete de Atendimento à Mulher e Criança Vitima de Violência). Training of community leaders in advocacy and child protection Programmes for raising awareness of community radios developed and coordinated by children and young people Training of key actors for reporting and intervention in cases of abuse, mistreatment and/or exploitation Propping up of dynamism in prizes for the promotion of Rights, Talents and Child Protection Reporting and monitoring of child protection incidents Strengthening of existing reference systems and services (formal and informal) World Vision-Mozambique develops, in the 32 ADPs, advocacy activities that aim to raise awareness and empower communities, including children, to actively participate in the decisions that affect their lives and to talk in a constructive way with the authorities, including the bodies of local, provincial and national government. In addition, child protection projects, which cover all ADPs of Gaza and in 6 ADPs of Tete, are being implemented. The provinces of Nampula and Zambezia shall be covered in the course of next fiscal year. These projects are based on a 3-phase model: Prevention, Protection and Restoration. Prevention consists in awareness raising and education intended to creating an
environment that protects children. Examples of prevention activities include training of health technicians and staff in hospitals and health centres on basic knowledge of forensic medicine so that they can detect and refer the incidents to child protection bodies, and the dissemination of teacher´s code of conduct carried out in partnership with the National Organisation of Teachers (Organização Nacional dos Professores). Protection refers to reporting, monitoring and follow-up of cases in the reference systems aiming, in parallel, to strengthen these reference systems and ser vices and strengthen its capacity to respond to incidents that undermine child well-being (child protection incidents). And Restoration which consists in psychosocial suppor t provided to victims. Thus, apar t from training on these services and systems, permanent monitoring of these incidents is carried out to ensure that reporting is done and that the due follow-up is made by the authorities until a fair verdict to the offender is given. Regarding monitoring and follow-up of child protection incidents in 9 ADPs in Gaza province, there were a total of 128 incidents. Most repeated incidents include violations (20.3 %), sexual abuse (18 %), early marriage (16.4 %) and physical violence (14.1 %). Ahikulene ADP and Ukane ADP are the ones which reported fewer cases of incidents (8) while Alto Changane has reported the highest number of cases. In a total of 128 incidents, 109 (85.2 %) affected girls and the majority of these are cases of sexual abuse (23), early marriage (21) and physical violations (25). Out of 19 reported cases affecting boys 9 refer to physical violence, although there are also situations of suspected trafficking (3) and negligent treatment (2). All cases that undermine health, well-being and the future of children are identified and repor ted and should have appropriate treatment from reference systems so that a fair verdict is given to the offender in court. Out of 128 cases reported in Gaza, 90 are still in the stage of preparation, this is to say, between the family and the police; 18 are under investigation at the prosecutor’s office and 20 have been closed in which the offender was sentenced accordingly.
On the other hand, in order to monitor the increase of the rate of child well-being in its par tner communities, World VisionMozambique uses several indicators relating children and young people perception about themselves and about the contexts in which they live and in what manner these contribute so that they can use their time and skills in a constructive way. For this purpose, young people (12 to 18 years old) assess their knowledge and attitudes about potential risks to their health and physical and emotional well-being, as well as the networks of support that they have available and the behaviour of their peers. Examples of aspects evaluated by young people include consumption of alcoholic beverages, physical violence, sexual relations, HIV/AIDS. The last evaluation demonstrates that 22.6% of young people between the age of 12-18 report high levels of well-being. These young people also repor t a significant reduction in health problems, fewer concerns, abuse and sadness and/or hate and an increase in the levels of joy, respect and interest.

APOLINÁRIO’S INSPIRING STORY Apolinário is an active member of Children´s Parliament in Macuacua since 2007 and is the current Chairman of Children´s Parliament of Mandjacaze District. The 16-year-old young man dreams of becoming a lawyer when he grows up. “I want to know about laws and help people who need legal support, especially children because they are more vulnerable. I want to be able to educate people and raise their awareness about law. I have seen that the majority of people do not have knowledge about the laws in force. Even some police officers don’t have knowledge about these laws.” On child protection Apolinário says: “we reported an incident that occurred in April 2013 in one of our communities. It was a case of a 12-year-old girl who was raped by her stepfather. This case was reported to the local police and followed all regular procedures. The offender was arrested and is up to now in custody. I am very proud to be a part of Children´s Parliament.” Apolinário Joaquim Tivane, 16 years old, Hluvuko ADP, Mandjacaze District. “With regard child protection we have reported cases of incidents and have also tried to raise awareness of all those who accompany children in school environments and in the communities. We talk with adults and children. Now some children and members of the community call us to inform about incidents we can help them report. This is a sign that people know about us and appreciate the work that Children´s Parliament is doing in Mazucane. We reported a Child Protection Incident of the community, where a teacher has raped a puppil aged 9 at one of Mangunze schools. With our support, the girl told us what happened and the case was sent to district headquarters and referred to court. This teacher is still in prison.” Grace Manuel Nhamuwave, 15 years old, Mazucane, Mandjacaze District. “I was eager to have the opportunity to train other colleagues in the district hospital and health centres, but did not have the resources to move forward. It was disturbing for me to see my colleagues making expert evaluation without appropriate training and guidance. World Vision-Mozambique has established this partnership with us and now I am confident that, from this joint exercise, we shall have forensic medical reports of good quality.” Momad Correia, doctor and provincial focal point on forensic medicine who, along with Dino Lopes (general practitioner) and Raimundo Freitas (psychologist), has trained 48 health professionals from Mandjacaze, among them doctors, nurses and health technicians so that they can make proper examination and monitoring of children victims of incidents of any kind.
TARGET 2 e 3
INCREASED NUMBER OF WELL-NOURISHED CHILDREN INCREASED NUMBER OF CHILDREN PROTECTED FROM DISEASES AND INFECTIONS
Although some progress has been made with regard to health, sanitation and nutrition in Mozambique, the country still faces many challenges, where striking prevalence of HIV/AIDS among the active population is one of the main challenges. However, other preventable and treatable diseases also put mortality in a high position, especially child and women mortality. Malaria kills about 2,000 people per year and other diseases related to water and sanitation are very common in rural areas. Mortality rate of children under five fell from 153 deaths per 1,000 live bir ths in 2003 to 97 in 2011*, but Mozambique continues to be one of the countries with the highest rates of infant mortality in the world and disparities between rural and urban areas are becoming more evident. The causes of infant mortality are numerous and the majority of these are common, treatable and preventable problems, such as malaria, respiratory infections, infections by HIV, lack of neonatal conditions, etc. which could be avoided with proper investment. On the other hand, data from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) indicate 44% of children suffering from chronic malnutrition. Diarrhea continues to be one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality, contributing to almost 7% of deaths of children under 5 years old. According to recent studies from the Government of Mozambique** current water coverage (accessibility) in rural areas is at 45.4% while sanitation is at 12.4 %. More than 87% of the households use unsafe sanitation systems and only 8.5% of the households have access to improved water supply and sanitation. * Demographic and Health Survey 2011 - Ministry of Health (MISAU), National Institute of Statistics (INE) and ICF International (ICFI). Mozambique * * MOPH/DNA (2012). National Program for Water Supply and Rural Sanitation (PRONASAR). Basic Survey 2011
This lack of access to clean and drinking water, inadequate sanitation in combination with improper practices of hygiene result in high levels of diarrhea and other diseases. In addition, sanitation and hygiene in school context continue to pose a challenge at national level, although there are significant progress whose impact has resulted in improvements to the health and well-being of Mozambican children. Tough not impossible, Mozambique is not yet on the way to achieving the Millennium Development Goal for water supply and sanitation in rural areas. World Vision-Mozambique aims to contribute to the improvement of health and nutrition of women and children and reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS in the provinces where it operates, contributing to the reduction of maternal and infant mortality, as well as to the improvement of access to sources of safe and sustainable water and sanitation to the poorest and most vulnerable communities and school age children. For this purpose, World Vision-Mozambique promotes multisectoral programmes that aim to strengthen the involvement of the communities in the prevention of child diseases and their response ability to prevent malaria, diarrhea, respiratory infections and other diseases. On the other hand, World Vision-Mozambique has sought to increase the participation of traditional leaders on issues related to reproductive health, family planning, neonatal care and gender, and promote social change and positive behaviour, reduction of stigma and discrimination and increased use of preventive services. In order to ensure success in the implemented actions, World Vision-Mozambique conducts regular surveys of needs and develops research on nutrition, health and HIV/AIDS, which allows to better adapt projects and programmes to the real needs of the communities.

INCREASED NUMBER OF WELL-NOURISHED CHILDREN Malnutrition during the first years has a lasting impact on physical and cognitive development of children, preventing them from reaching their full potential. The reduction of chronic malnutrition among children under the age of five is one of the main priorities of the Government of Mozambique. World Vision-Mozambique acknowledges that healthy mothers create healthy children. In this context, the improvement of the nutritional condition of mothers is critical to ensure that they have a healthy pregnancy so that their babies are born healthy. WHAT DO WE INTEND? Contribuir para a melhoria da condição nutricional das mães e crianças. Contribute to the improvement of the nutritional condition of mothers and children SECTORS INVOLVED Health Nutrition Water and Sanitation (WASH) Agriculture For this purpose, World Vision-Mozambique is based on two models: Groups of Mothers and Positive Deviance/Hearth. The first model is being implemented in 31 ADPs out of 32 active ADPs through Health Committees and aims to change attitudes with respect to health. Mothers gather in small groups with community health volunteers every 2 weeks in order to learn and discuss issues related to health, nutrition and sanitation. In this regard, mothers learn about exclusive breastfeeding, appropriate complementary feeding practices, counseling for infants, growth monitoring of children, access and intake of micronutrients and adequate children feeding. Under this approach, World VisionMozambique worked with 11 470 families in 2013. Through Positive Deviance/Hearth, community volunteers actively involve caretakers in the rehabilitation of malnourished children. This approach consists in nutritional rehabilitation and food education by bringing together mothers and volunteers during 12 consecutive days so that they can learn new practices of nutrition,
health, hygiene and care followed by home visits during a year by volunteers trained by World Vision-Mozambique. Over a period of 12 consecutive days, the family and the children themselves learn and practice cooking, nourishment and hygiene techniques in their own homes, as well as appropriate behaviours for the caretakers of malnourished children. This approach promotes an effective behavioural change while enabling caretakers to take responsibility for the nutritional rehabilitation of their children by putting into practice the knowledge that they acquire and by using local resources. Despite having been implemented in only 9 ADPs, this model allowed the rehabilitation of 748 malnourished children. World Vision-Mozambique plans to extend this approach to 17 ADPs in 2014. Ogumaniha Project, which is being implemented in Zambezia province, strengthens the monitoring of growth through support to health services and mobile unites for identifying, tracking and monitoring of growth of infants, children and pregnant women for prevention and early identification of situations of malnutrition. The most serious situations are referred to health services, while the moderately malnourished children are monitored at community level with the support of groups of mothers and fathers. In the context of this project, Clubs of Junior Farmers were also created, where 4149 young people (2088 males and 2061 females) learned innovative farming techniques. These clubs also offered a platform for discussion and learning about issues that directly affect the lives of young people, which included prevention from HIV, their rights, ways to improve their health, etc. OCLUVELA Project, which ended on 31st July 2103, was crucial to the improvement of food security in the communities. The following was promoted under this project: care and infant feeding practices, appropriate nutrition education sessions about hygiene practices and food diversity, sessions for promotion of orangefleshed sweet potato and other types of foods rich in vitamin A, and education sessions on exclusive breastfeeding. On the other hand, training of women in agricultural production and income-generating opportunities ensured the sustainability of long life project impacts. In order to assess the impact of the activities of World Vision-Mozambique in the area of nutrition, healthy growth of children from 0 to 5 years old is monitored,

TARGET 2
as well as the prevalence of children with birth weights below the expected level for their age within communities. This allows World Vision-Mozambique to monitor, improve and intensify its intervention in accordance with the needs identified in each community. The results show that approximately 28% of children aged less than 5 years in ADPs have suffered from malnutrition. Although this figure is closer to the average for the country, it should be noted that World Vision-Mozambique operates along the most vulnerable communities that are found in rural contexts, where the nutritional figures are considerably lower than those presented in more urbanized areas. According to the Demographic Survey of 2011 of the Ministry of Health*, 43% of children under 5 years old suffer from chronic malnutrition with low height for their age.This report points out that children living in rural areas tend to have higher rates of chronic malnutrition than those who live in urban areas, in a proportion of 35% and 46%, respectively. It should be noted that Tete presents the lowest levels of children who suffered from malnutrition in the last 6 months, while Nampula shows the highest level.

INCREASED NUMBER OF CHILDREN PROTECTED FROM DISEASES AND INFECTIONS Both access to safe drinking water and adequate sanitary facilities have a significant and measurable impact on the health of adults and children. Diseases caused by improper water contribute to high rates of mortality, especially for children. Common diseases caused by lack of adequate sanitation and hygiene in schools cause increased rates of absenteeism and make learning impossible. In this respect, actions by World Vision-Mozambique focus not only on access and use of improved sources of water and sanitary facilities but also on support to the Government by ensuring that children receive appropriate vaccinations to reduce their vulnerability to communicable diseases. On the other hand, malaria is endemic in Mozambique and is one of the most serious health problems in the country. Malaria kills more children than any other disease and is responsible for 40% of all visits to clinics and hospitals. Through Global Fund Project and active involvement of all ADPs, World Vision-Mozambique is committed to the prevention of malaria, with special attention to pregnant women and children by distributing mosquito nets and by raising awareness and training families and communities. WHAT DO WE INTEND? Contribute to the improvement of health condition of mothers and children. SECTORS INVOLVED Water and Sanitation (WASH) Health Emergency and Rehabilitation One of the largest programmes of World Vision-Mozambique, MozWASH, aims to improve the health and quality of life of one million people, including 400,000 children in 31 ADPs until 2016, through the use and sustainable access to safe drinking water, improved sanitary facilities and good hygiene practices. Its implementation began in October 2011 in 9 ADPs in Zambezia province and expanded its activities to 6 ADPs of Nampula province in October 2012. MozWASH combines training in water, hygiene and sanitation with community construction of sanitary facilities through the following approach: Total Sanitation Led by
the Community. This approach is an important tool to inspire and empower communities to change the behaviours that are harmful to their health and to promote the construction and use of latrines, without external financial support. It focuses on the change of behaviours needed to ensure real and sustainable improvements triggering desire for change in the community, impelling it to act and encouraging innovation, mutual support and local solutions. Apart from construction of 147 boreholes in the community, which serve a total of 44,100 people, and rehabilitation of 95 water points, MozWASH held other activities such as mobilization of the community to improve the construction and use of latrines with a system that allows to wash hands and promotion of appropriate hygiene habits, creating opportunities for 146 communities to discuss the consequences of poor sanitation and defecation in the open air. A total of 18,528 latrines were built by families, which serve 95,815 people*. On the other hand, 4,892 teachers and volunteers were trained through education and awareness raising campaigns. World Vision-Mozambique is also the second main recipient of the Round 9 Malaria Project funded by Global Fund, in partnership with the Ministry of Health. During the first phase, activities which focused in communities were carried out in 7 provinces and they included the distribution of 757,928 treated mosquito nets, continued training of 120 elementary multipurpose agents and implementation of strategies to change community behaviour which benefited 693,270 people, seeking to promote preventive behaviours and search for early treatment in them. According to surveys conducted by the Organisation, 60% of families in 32 operational ADPs use a safe source of water. This figure is above 45% of rural people with access to improved sources presented by Water National Directorate** but still below the target of 70% established by the Millennium Development Goals.
* This value represents 98% of the target established by the organisation for the fiscal year 2013. ** MOPH/DNA (2012). National Program for Water Supply and Rural Sanitation (PRONASAR). Basic Survey 2011.

TARGET 3 These data show a considerable improvement in the quality of water consumed in the ADPs although there are still several challenges to overcome. Only 30% of the population has access to improved sanitation facilities. Although this number is below the target of 65% established by the Organisation for the current year, it should be noted that, according to the aforementioned demographic survey, only 12% of households in rural context use improved sanitary facilities. Thus, although it still falls short of the expectations of the Organisation, the data shows a significant improvement with regard to sanitation in the communities where World Vision-Mozambique operates. With regard to prevention of Malaria, the indicators show that 39% of households in ADPs have at least one treated and long lasting mosquito net and the highest figure was presented in Tete (57 %) where the Global Fund Project is taking place since 2012 and the lowest in Gaza (28%) where this Project will start in 2014. On the other hand, in the ADPs, 65.4 % of households that have mosquito nets says priority for using the mosquito nets is given to children under 5 years old.
In the backyard we saw a kitchen and two reed houses covered with hay. This is the house where Albertina Soares, an 11-year-old sponsored child, lives together with her parents and four brothers and sisters. Albertina‘s family gets food and gain income from the fields of cassava, vegetables and sweet potatoes that surround the backyard. However, things were not always so. For 13 years World Vision-Mozambique has increased opportunities for access to clean and safe water, health, education and food for children and their families through the sponsorship program. Albertina‘s family is one of the families benefiting from these. Both World Vision-Mozambique and the communities are tackling poverty which affects thousands of people in this village for centuries. Memories Albertina would like to wipe out include the days when she walked for hours to fetch water in the well. This water was dirty and posed great health risk to her and her family. “These were difficult moments in our lives”, says young Albertina. “Actually, I used to leave home around 5 a.m. only to come back [with 20 litres of water on my head] one or two hours later”, she explains as she regrets for the days she got to school exhausted. But since the borehole was drilled with the contribution of World Vision-Mozambique, less than 500 meters away from her house, Albertina‘s life very much improved. A new episode of her life began. “Now I can choose the time I want to leave home to fetch water. And if the queue is long I go back home only to return when nobody is there”, says Albertina. The boreholes allow children like Albertina to have enough time for home duties, playing and focus on what matters the most – education. “Now I can prepare for school, do homework and play”, she says. On the other hand, Albertina and her friends can live with less risk of catching diseases transmitted by dirty water and are therefore less often sick. In addition, their parents also have more time to work on the farm. Today, Albertina‘s family has enough water to irrigate their green garden, which has brought about increase and diversification of production providing enough food for a balanced diet and some more surplus to sell and increase income.

757 928 TREATED MOSQUITO NETS DISTRIBUTED IN 2013
“This mosquito net that I have just received will protect me and my baby, who is two years old. We hardly sleep at night because there is lot of mosquitoes and we therefore suffer a great deal with malaria. The baby often falls ill and my husband doesn’t have money to pay for hospital expenditures. We endure a lot and the hospital is far away. I myself am a victim and sincerely hope that the situation changes.”
Célia Artur, 20 years old, Incisa Locality in Zambezia
TARGET 4
INCREASED NUMBER OF CHILDREN WHO KNOW HOW TO READ AND WRITE AT THE AGE OF 11 YEARS At present access to primary education is a reality for many Mozambican children, however, much remains to be done with regard to the quality of teaching. Even children who complete primary education show serious difficulties both in reading and in math skills. The lack of training for primary school teachers, combined with shortage of classrooms and lack of infrastructure for water and sanitation or of equipment, such as writing-desks and chairs, lowers greatly the indicators and almost half of school age children leaving school before completing grade 5. On the other hand, the scourge of poverty and HIV/AIDS has brought new responsibilities to school context, forcing schools to respond to the needs previously assumed by their own families, such as assistance to orphaned and/or especially vulnerable children and the provision of health services. In addition, frequency rates in rural areas are still inferior to those of urban areas and almost half of the children with age for attending secondary education are still in primary school. Girls continue to be disadvantaged and to leave school early and the literacy rate of women is significantly lower than that of men. WHAT DO WE INTEND? Contribute to the improvement of access to primary education as well as to quality of teaching. The intervention of World Vision-Mozambique in the area of Education began in 1999 when the first Area Development Program was established. For many years World Vision-Mozambique devoted itself almost solely to construction of schools, distribution of school materials. However, learning outcomes and literacy rates were still inferior to expectations.
Currently the Organisation operates in the area of Education in an integrated way and in partnership with the Mozambican Government, and has been developing the necessary technical skills and a clear plan of action for education which will ensure the transition to a greater focus on quality and learning results, ensuring that children learn how to read, write and do basic maths and also that they have access to quality education that will enable them to improve their ability to communicate and express their feelings and to protect themselves. Thus, it is intended that these schools become a place of growth where every young person discovers and develops his/her vocation and plans his/her future. World Vision-Mozambique also supports community awareness raising campaigns that are aimed at showing the importance of education and hygiene in schools and encourage a greater and better involvement of teachers in the education of children.

MAIN ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT IN 2013: School committees formed School classrooms constructed Schools constructed or rehabilitated Centres for vocational training constructed and equipped School equipment units distributed (writing desks, tables and chairs) Support in tuition fees and school uniforms Libraries constructed and equipped Awareness raising campaigns to show the importance of education especially for girls Supply of sporting material and promotion of sport at school Provision of school kits (notebooks, pencils, rubbers, pens and drawing kits) and support in pedagogical material (maps, exercise books, etc.) Courses on teaching methodologies for teachers Teachers trained Training in adult literacy Awards for best teachers and students School feeding The indicators show that 70% of male children and 69% of female in the ADPs where World Vision-Mozambique operates are enrolled in and attend school until the age of 14 as a result of the investment made by the Organisation in the construction and rehabilitation of schools, in awareness raising about the importance of education and in the reduction of challenges that children face, namely the absence of water sources which forces many children (especially girls) to miss classes, as well as other situations causing diarrhea and other diseases that hinder children to go to school, which end up affecting significantly their school achievement. The government also made significant investment for the improvement of education. However, more detailed studies show that, on the one hand, the rates of presence are still much lower than desirable and, on the other hand, only 25% of children were shown to be able to read and understand the meaning of a text suitable for their age. These results reaffirm the importance of efforts that World Vision-Mozambique has been developing in shifting from a perspective based on the creation of infrastructures for education to strengthened quality of educational services through a greater investment in learning outcomes in order to ensure improvement of the children levels of literacy and numeracy. At the beginning of the fiscal year, World Vision-Mozambique began a project of school feeding and nutrition education that covers students and teachers of 147 primary schools in the districts of Muecate and Nacaroa, Nampula province. This project seeks to tackle the major challenges facing the improvement rates of literacy, namely the inability of students to concentrate as a result of hunger and unbalanced diet.
Studying in Nihessiue Primary School – northern Mozambique – is no longer uncomfortable for the students who leave their homes everyday in search for knowledge since a new school was constructed. The community led the process and World Vision-Mozambique gave some extra support in materials and equipment for the school. “I like my new school very much, it is beautiful”, says Dulce Arabito, a 10-year-old and grade-four pupil “it has writing-desks, windows and zinc sheets”, she adds. There is now a playground outside built for children who, until recently, were studying in precarious conditions.

“My old school was made of reed and covered with hay and a plastic sheet. When it rained outside it was like it was raining inside too”, Dulce recalls. “In those rainy days, we couldn’t use our classroom.” Despite her age, Dulce´s description reflects exactly the current scenario of many communities in rural areas of the country, where thousands of children are still studying in improvised schools or under trees. If Dulce´s dream comes true, in a few years she will be using a white uniform taking care of her patients. “I want to be a nurse and help heal other children and their parents”, says Dulce. Teacher Moisés Alexandre points out that “a lot has changed for the better! The school offers an inviting environment that attracts more pupils. Children now want to come to school and spent as much time as possible”. In fact, the numbers speak for themselves: the enrollment increased from 347 pupils last year to 412 this year. “And we’re still receiving more enrollment”, adds the teacher. “This is simply motivating for us as teachers.” But the teachers are also thrilled with the performance of their pupils. Moisés continues “If a child is sitting on the ground and constantly stretching himself/herself and changing positions because he/she is not comfortable, it is impossible for him/her to focus. But if conditions are improved, the difference that this can make is incredible”. Moisés finally says in short: “We truly have a school at last!” Dulce lives with her grandparents – two farmers who decided to take care of her granddaughter. The grandfather, Antonio Ropean, actively participated in the construction of the school: “We wanted a school so much that the community stepped forward and began to make bricks and collect a type of stone for construction which is locally available”, says Antonio, adding that “then we went to World Vision-Mozambique because we needed some support in other material and experience, and this is the result. If children are happy with their school, parents will also be.” And, as a general rule, happy parents and children make happy communities.
EMERGENCY AND REHABILITATION The emergency and rehabilitation department is central to the action of World Vision-Mozambique since 1983 when the Organisation was established in the country and provided assistance to thousands of displaced people in war. At present the strategic objective of this department is to strengthen community resilience to shocks (chronic or emerging), developing in them the ability to predict, prepare, respond to and recover from emergencies through training and capacity building in all ADPs.
The Mozambican territory is often plagued by natural disasters such as droughts, floods, hurricanes and strong winds that endanger the lives and livelihoods of thousands of people, especially children. In January 2013 heavy rains caused flooding in major river basins in southern and central Mozambique. An institutional red alert was declared on 22 January, however, the humanitarian situation continued to worsen. In March 2013 estimates pointed to more than 478,892 people affected and 117 deaths as a result of heavy rains and floods that wiped out large areas of southern and central Mozambique. Damage to community homes and infrastructures such as roads, bridges, drainage systems and electricity are still evident today. The contribution of World Vision-Mozambique in terms of response which was led by the Mozambican Government was fundamental to avoid losing lives and livelihoods through a series of interventions, particularly in the area of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), child protection and distribution of food and non-food products. Through the established partnership with United Nations World Food Program, it was possible to guarantee the supply and improvement of the nutritional situation of 85,000 beneficiaries for 10 months after the disaster.

More than 3,000 students were able to continue to learn in accommodation centres and the health condition of 80,000 flood victims has been improved in the districts of Guija, Chibuto, Macia, Xai-Xai in Gaza, and Namacurra, Nicuadala and Mopeia in Zambezia. For the emergency response to be successful, World Vision-Mozambique worked in coordination with several partners (Government, UN and NGOs) in a joint technical and operational process. The communities and local authorities, through Disaster Risk Management Committees, trained by World VisionMozambique, played a fundamental role in reducing the number of people affected by floods.
CHILD SPONSORSHIP
CHILD SPONSORSHIP The Child Sponsorship Program establishes a connection between sponsors, throughout the world, and sponsored children living in contexts of vulnerability, through the exchange of correspondence (letters, Christmas postcards and annual progress repor t), photographs, videos and visits. This relationship promotes a mutual growth and a shared learning experience between the sponsor and sponsored child. Regular activities of 32 ADPs of World Vision-Mozambique in operation are financed by sponsors and these funds are raised by our suppor t offices. These activities not only benefit the sponsored children but also other children, their families and communities through sustainable and long life programmes which have proven to have significant impact on health, education, participation, sanitation and food safety of the entire community and, especially, children. Thus, it should be noted that a large part of activities and results presented here are directly linked to and depend on this program. Children registered in the sponsorship program are monitored through quarterly home visits made by World Vision-Mozambique facilitators. These monitoring and organisational visits allow assessing the increase of child well-being with regard to health, education, participation, protection and respect for their rights.
Every year the Organisation welcomes dozens of sponsors who arrive from all corners of the world to visit sponsored children and see how through their contribution World Vision-Mozambique has transformed lives and communities for the well-being of children.

people in my community were afraid of strangers. My mother said that I should not accept anything from strangers because it could be something stolen. She only found out that I was receiving school support sometime after. I completed basic education and was transferred to Mocuba and World Vision-Mozambique covered everything: from internment to books. I completed there the 12th grade. Then I started working to World Vision-Mozambique as Correspondence Analyst. Now I’m 24 years old and continue working in my province with the same Organisation and I am striving to complete the course of History at Catholic University of Mozambique. I am in the second year and I’m really enjoying it. When I go to the community to work, the message that I give to people is that they must believe in and help World Vision-Mozambique because it does a lot of valuable things. In my community World Vision-Mozambique has done many things for the well-being of the community: drilled boreholes, constructed schools, health unities and so many other things. My dream is to serve the Organisation so that it may continue to do well”. Domingos Morais Paulo, 24 years old, Namacurra.

In the course of the fiscal year 2013, World Vision-Mozambique had extraordinary support from several companies at national level which promptly made themselves available to contribute and support fund-raising campaigns that were carried out: “MOZAMBICANS HELPING MOZAMBICANS” – is a fund raising campaign launched in February 2013 seeking to strengthen the movement of national solidarity with flood victims. This campaign raised 30,000 dollars that allowed the strengthening of the response to the disaster that affected hundreds of thousands of Mozambicans.. The funds were used for acquisition of filters and water purifiers and in rehabilitation of water sources destroyed by the force of the waters. “TOGETHER FOR THE CHILD WELL-BEING” – was the slogan of the first annual dinner of World Vision-Mozambique, a fund raising event in celebration of the 30-year-journey of World Vision in Mozambique. To all these companies, as well as to the usual partners and financiers of World Vision-Mozambique, we express our profound gratitude for making this journey possible.
