About

In March 2000, Amurt first went to Mozambique to respond to the floods in Xai-Xai. After the disaster phase, we constructed the roads and 254 houses in the resettlement town of Ndameine 2000.

We commenced the hygiene and sanitation program in 2001, with grants from UNICEF and the Swiss Development Corporation, building 1,400 pit latrines in three resettlement areas. Our surveys had shown that many people were unaware of the causes of diarrhea, so we also organized educational theater programs in all the beneficiary communities.

We are currently working in 176 schools in Xai-Xai, Chibuto and Guija Districts, installing 1408 pit latrines. In all the schools we are forming child-to-child sanitation committees and promoting awareness campaigns about hygiene and sanitation issues with a special focus on hand washing and fighting HIV/AIDS. We have a staff of 17 people.
