ALG works on a daily basis with a local team in Mozambique
composed by 6 Local Partners, one General Coordinator and 15 technicians and
moms who ensure ALG’s work on the ground is efficient and reach the highest
possible number of families. This year we had a few changes, partners
wise, but the new “acquisitions” are amazing.
ALG has been offering this festive calendar to all ALG friends since 2011. This year you can also print a high definition version for only 1£!
Sister Alice is the new Local Partner in S. Vicente de Paulo.
She was born on the 14th of November 1974, in Maputo, and she is the youngest
of 8 brothers. In 1997 she was admitted in the Daughters’ of Charity
Congregation currently completing 17 years of religious life. She has a high
school degree of primary teacher. In 2006 she took the degree of Education
Planning, Administration and Management.
During
her studies period Sister Alice was also Headmistress of SLM School
(Manjangue), and taught at the Matola School. In 2010 she was transferred to
the Xinavane School where she taught from the 1st to the 10th grade, also
working as Educational Deputy Headmistress, and History and Portuguese Teacher
for the 8th and 9th grades.
In
November 2014 she arrived in Chokwé to be in charge of the SVP School,
continuing the wonderful work of Sister Neusa. In 2015 ALG had a comprehensive
intervention in the deprived school of SVP were it support projects to build
family huts (such as Alberto’s under construction), after class support, technical
courses and income generation initiatives, besides the 170 UPG Portugal
sponsored children.
Sister Sidónia is
responsible for the daily supervision of the HIV Day Care Centre in SLM, and
welcomes 32 children affected by the HIV/AIDS virus. She was born on the 17th
of September 1991 in the Ile district, Zambezia province. Her parents Mário
Alfândega and Eugénia Ovesse, had five children. The Sister was the second of
the five. Her father is a farmer and her mother is a teacher.
Sister Sidónia began her studies in 2000 in the Santa
Isabel School, having studied there from the 1st to the 7th grade. In this
school she was several times considered the best of the class and of the whole
school! She even was awarded prizes for being the child with the best grades
and best presentation. Sister remembers she loved to study. She leaned to read
and pray with her mother at a very young age.
The daily close work with the Local Partners allow us
to consolidate our control policy for effective application of funds. We wish
to break the poverty cycle in Xai-Xai, Chokwé and Chongoene in a transparent
and efficient way, providing proximity and visible impact for the donor.
