Moza supports campaign for the recovery of those affected by the conflicts in Cabo Delgado

Moza Banco will support an initiative for the recovery of population affected by the conflicts that have been taking place in Cabo Delgado since 2017. The campaign consists in offering self-employment kits, where Moza Banco will support through the sewing machines and kits to allow the start of the activity.

This is an initiative of the Chamber of Commerce of Mozambique and Portugal, which aims to support as many as possible out of 250 thousand families displaced from their areas of origin due to the terrorist attacks that have been devastating the province of Cabo Delgado.

The aim is to help the families to restart their lives in a sustainable way, hence the name "restarting life by creating self-employment for the refugees’ families in Cabo Delgado".  This will be done by offering work kits for various activities by the Chamber and partners, one of them being Moza Banco.

Moza Banco was moved by the despair story of some families, where children sleep without food and their parents in the anguish for not having what to provide to their families. For this reason, the bank decided to support the campaign in buying these sewing machines and their work-kits.

The kits will contain a piece of fabric, machine needles, thimbles, thread rolls, scissors, pins, reel, buttons, tape measure, chalk, machine oil, carbon pencil, elastic (30m), ruler and 6mm screwdriver.

"This, in fact, is an action that we consider tiny; however, this is what we can and we believe that if several other entities proceed in the same way we will be able help in a very significant way. As per our national anthem, millions of arms, one force", said João Figueiredo, Chairman of Moza Banco.

Besides purchasing the sewing machines, Moza Banco will use its channels, such as ATM and others to raise awareness of other collective and individual entities supporting the campaign to ensure its success.

The donations will be delivered in a public ceremony on a date to be announced and divided between the Islamic Community and the Diocese of Pemba, that both will select the beneficiaries and this may include refugees in Pemba, Mueda, Montepuez and Metuge.
