What We Do

At ADPP Mozambique, we believe that everyone deserves the best. As global citizens, we all have the right to fulfil our potential through access to good healthcare, education and economic opportunities.

Our aim is to provide opportunities for all Mozambicans and to provide development initiatives in health, education and agriculture to more than 7.4 million Mozambicans every year. Our work also aims to foster personal growth by providing the tools, knowledge and skills that empower people and communities to fulfil their potential, regardless of their background or situation.

Our focus has always been on encouraging and developing the active participation of people, whether they are farmers and their families, farmers‘ and producers’ clubs, health support groups, girls' clubs, or teachers and students in schools. Our organisation was created to support all Mozambicans and communities are our strongest allies in achieving a fairer and more equitable world.

Education for millions of children and youth worldwide is at risk. Faced with an overburdened education system, natural disasters and ongoing conflict in Cabo Delgado, a growing number of children and youth are unable to realize their full potential. In response, ADPP runs programs within basic education, vocational and teacher training and higher education in cooperation with local authorities and partners. Through the power of education, we build a brighter future for children and youth.

Good health is essential for individual development and a productive life.
Health care and services are often not available to everyone due to various barriers. ADPP implements health programs that empower people to organize themselves, contribute to solutions, and take control of their health. ADPP contributes to improving health and well-being by addressing major health challenges such as HIV, Sexual Reproductive Health, TB, Malaria, and Nutrition through prevention and care.

Agriculture and smallholder farming is the backbone of Mozambique’s economy. More than 80% of the population make their living from farming. But farming is characterized by low levels of production and productivity, lack of access to knowledge and technologies, lack of support system and investment combined with the adverse impacts of climate change.
ADPP response is empowering smallholder farmers to transform farming to sustainable farming, increase smallholder farmers productivity, resilience and income.

Disasters and Climate Change have a devastating effect on communities all over the world. During these disasters the poorest and most vulnerable suffer the most. Mozambique is one of the most vulnerables countries to Climate Change.
ADPP Mozambique work side by side with affected communities, local governments and partners to assist the people to recover and to build resilience.
