The situation in the camps where those who had been hit
by the flood are gathered is still tragic. In the camp of Magoanine,
on the outskirts of Maputo still live 1300 families. 900 of them were
already allocated a piece of land the other 400 are still waiting and
many continue to live under communal tents (up to 5 families for every
tent).
Magoanine
Up to 400 families are concentrated in a "welcome
centre" that was realized in the 3 buildings of a abandoned
factory. They are there since the beginning of the rain waiting for a
piece of land where they can start rebuilding. The food is also
insufficient: each day they receive millet sufficient for a meal.
Magoanine
A school of canes was built. It welcomes 2000 children
in three turns. There are 8 rooms but there would be the need of two
more.
In Boane, not far from Maputo, there is also a
camp in condition of neglect. In this camp all families still live under
communal tents.
We are trying to locate an area where the houses can be
rebuilt. We would like to build a small village of houses that,
respecting the traditional criteria (a zinc roof with pressed clay
bricks as walls) may however be stable and be furnished with toilets.
