“Casa da Falília” will be a kindergarden.
It is located in a Bairro or Township north of the Capital Maputo. The area is home to approx. 8.000 families of which 200 live below the poverty level. There are many orphans whos parents have passed away due to HIV/AIDS.
It is the intention of Mr. Geraldo and his wife Ms. Adelaide to turn their former house into a kindergarden to be used by the local children of the area. The area was allocated to victims of the large flood in 2000 and the houses were provided to the people worst affected. The family Geraldo was able to purchase this house and has transferred it to the local catholic community S. Agosthino that will be the intiator of the project.
Mr. Geraldo is the prefect of the catholic community and will be the coordinator of the project. He will be assisted by teachers and staff (cook and assistant).
The kindergarden is expected to take approx. 30 children between the age of 3-5. of these 25 will contribute to the running costs of the kindergarden so that at least 5 children will be able to join the kindergarden for free as their families are not in the position to contribute to the costs.
The construction of the kindergarden will commence in the next weeks and operations are expected to begin after the southern summer holidays in January.
