In Mozambique only 4% of children have access to pre-school education,
mainly in urban areas. 50% of the Mozambican population is composed by children
who live in rural areas. ALG finances two pre-schools, in Chongoene and
Xai-Xai, helping around 120 children between 3 and 6 years of age.
Rui de Jesus Muianga is 4;
he lives with an elderly and ill grandmother. His mother abandoned him when he
was just a baby. Rui is the living example of the urgent need of a service such
as sponsored pre-schools.
Before attending pre-school he was diagnosed with serious anaemia and
had several relapses. Today he has breakfast – tea/milk and bread with jam –
and has lunch at pre-school.
This year in March, the Month of Milk, our campaign
raised over £650! With this amount it was possible to guarantee more than one
year of milk supplies for pre-schools. These are examples of Little Gestures
that allow children like Rui to have proper nourishment for their age!
