The 40,000 square metre mined area was previously a battlefield
where landmines were extensively used during the 16-year civil war.

the land, once cleared, as a high priority district development
site.

Clearance of a 45,000 square metre minefield located in the Nhaboa

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.

Gaza
Donor: Rotary District 7070, Night of a Thousand

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 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.
