DISTANCE SUPPORT

CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND PROTECTION

AGAPE collaborates with several Mozambican partners both by directly supporting several children and their families and through the work of many volunteers who intervene in the different communities in Maputo, offering expertise and support to the staff of local organisations.

HOW IT ALL BEGAN

Distance Support was one of AGAPE’s first programmes and has been carried out since 1996. The donor not only helps the child to grow up stronger, to always have a healthy and balanced meal on the table and to go to school, but it also indirectly contributes to the wellbeing of his/her siblings and family, and ultimately to that of the community in which he/ she lives. Over the years, the project has expanded with other activities that are complementary to the main one and are free for children, young people and families in the neighbourhood: school support, recreational activities and parenting education.

Activities

DELIVERY OF FOOD PACKAGES, HEALTH AND SCHOOL MATERIALS

Periodically, food and other materials are provided to the children and their families in order to help them in their daily lives, and supplement what the families manage to buy.

SCHOOL SUPPORT AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES

Every morning and afternoon, together with local organisations, we try to be a constant presence in the neighbourhood, ready to welcome children and young people who need help with a particularly difficult lesson or homework, or simply want to play together.

PARENTAL EDUCATION

Our national and international volunteers, specifically trained, assist mothers and fathers of the neighbourhood in improving their relationship with their children, giving them the right attention and helping them to grow up healthy in a stimulating and protected environment.

Impact

The children and young people directly supported, even from complex backgrounds, are able to eat every day, go to school and be closely followed in their growth. In addition, the project has an important impact on the entire community: the school support, recreational and parenting activities, depending on the context, are open to all families of the neighbourhood and thus multiply their positive effect.
