Mozambique<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Low literacy and high poverty rates continue to threaten Mozambique’s development.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since 46 % of the population lives below the international poverty line of USD 1.90 per day, poverty is still widespread in the country and depends primarily on subsistence agriculture. Around 15 % of children aged five years and younger are malnourished, and the average life expectancy at birth is only 53 years.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Mozambique is located on the coast of southern Africa and borders Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa and Swaziland and is a country of 25.9 million people. After five centuries of Portuguese colonization, Mozambique gained independence in 1975. But it was not until 1992 that the country experienced longer periods of political stability.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Recently, however, terrorist activities have increased, especially in the north of the country, which again jeopardizes what has been achieved in terms of political stability. Fortunately, however, the epicenters supported by THP are still located in peaceful and secure regions. However, negative indirect effects are to be feared due to Mozambique’s overall situation. In this situation it is more important than ever to help the people on the spot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thanks to your support we have been able to achieve a lot in Mozambique recently.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In 2018, the Chokwe Epicenter was able to achieve independence and was officially confirmed as such in mid-2019. With the help of this project a total of 13,366 people could be reached. The Hunger Project Switzerland provided collected contributions in the amount of 119’143 CHF in 2018. In 2019 an additional 20’112 CHF were transferred for the celebrations and activities after the Chokwe Epicenter became independent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The independence of the Chokwe Epicenter at a glance: The achieved score in the independence test was 85.24 of the required 80 points.<\/p>\n
