Return to Projects Main Page

2007 MOZ-Team #1 $42,220
Location: Sofala Province
Donor: Rotary District 7070 participation in Night of A Thousand Dinners

This project will fund the new team approach employed by Handicap International to target critical clearance sites. It is expected that the team will be funded for two months.

2006 MOZ-055 $72,184
Location: Cado, Sofala Province
Donor: Rotary District 7070 participation in Night of A Thousand Dinners and Igloo Diamonds

The 40,000 square metre mined area was previously a battlefield where landmines were extensively used during the 16-year civil war. Over 2,000 families who live in the immediate area are impacted by the landmine situation. Agricultural authorities intend to develop the land, once cleared, as a high priority district development site.

2006 MOZ-058 $58,675
Location: Chibabava, Sofala Province
Donor: Rotary District 7070 participation in Night of A Thousand Dinners

Clearance of a 45,000 square metre minefield located in the Nhaboa Primary School. The locale was used as the enemy entry point into the village during the civil armed conflict. Currently, the area is often used to access the local school. The clearance will benefit approximately 500 families.

2005 MOZ 050 $39,696
Location: Village of Mapinhane, Province of Inhambane
Donor: Rotary District 7070 in memory of Rotarian Mag Shah

The 27,644 square metre minefield is an area of land that forms a ring around the village and lake. Currently, 776 families or 3880 individuals face the daily threat of landmines. Once the area has been cleared, the land will be used for subsistence agriculture and it will allow for the rehabilitation of commercial infrastructure used by local farmers who also grow cashews for sale.

2005 MOZ 053 $26,393
Location: Jangamo
Donor: Rotary District 7070 in memory of Rotarian Joe Pinto

This 21,000 square metre minefield was a former military camp located close to a lake that served as a source of water for the community. Mines were laid to protect the military camp. When the land is cleared, the people of Jangamo will be able to access water much closer to where they live. 160 families and approximately 800 individuals will benefit from the clearance. A closer water source also will provide better conditions for farmers to develop small agricultural cooperatives and establish projects raising live stock.

2004 MOZ-035 $63,864
Location: Macuane-Txohossane, Bilene-Macia, Gaza
Donor: Rotary District 7070, Night of a Thousand Dinners
A 30,000 square metre minefield originally laid in 1989 during the civil war in Mozambique. Once this area was cleared, the government made fertile land available to 757 families and provided wood and building materials so that the people from this village could rebuild their homes. The local government has now planned an agricultural development project for this area that will employ 1305 people from local communities.

2003 MOZ-023 $44,987
Location: Mavila, Zavala, Inhambane
Donor: Rotary District 7070, Night of a Thousand Dinners and CIDA

This 20,000 square metre minefield was located very close to the centre of a busy town with bus stops, markets and other commercial areas close by. More than 1000 families live in this town and were at risk.

2003 MOZ-027 $93,370
Location: Nhpthuro-Goonda, Chibabava, Sofala
Donor: Rotary Clubs, Night of a Thousand Dinners and CIDA

This 40,000 square metre minefield impacted on the lives of 2192 people living in this area. During the war, mines were placed in this agricultural land to protect a former military camp. Now it has been returned to agricultural use.

2003 MOZ 042 $33,740
Location: Mulir, Mecanhelas, Niassa
Donor: Rotary District 7070, Night of a Thousand Dinners and CIDA
A 15,000 square metre minefield was located when locals tried to expand the cultivated area. During the war, FRELIMO laid mines to protect their military positions from RENAMO attack. Local families used the area surrounding the mined field for subsistence farming and there was great pressure for additional land. Clearing this area benefited local families and also allowed the railroad to open up - improving infrastructure for the entire country.

2002 MOZ-021-01 $45,684
Location: Ressano Garcia, Muputo
Donor: Night of a Thousand Dinners and CIDA

Together with MOZ-021-02 these are two contiguous 11,688 square metre portions of a larger minefield. The minefield includes a graveyard, a dip tank (used for treating cattle with chemicals to ward off lice and other insects) with an access road, and a large agricultural area. Clearing this section helped restore access to roads leading to the forests in the area as well as enabled people to reach agricultural areas and the graveyard safely.
