In two vast countries where poverty is rife and there is widespread lack of access to clean water and medical facilities, the threat of COVID-19 is very real. How do we help to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in our partner diocese in Mozambique & Angola?
Community Health Teams
In this time of crisis as COVID-19 is spreading into rural Mozambique & Angola, education & correct health messaging will save lives. The churches in the Dioceses of Nampula & Niassa, Mozambique have trusted community health teams who now are working as part of the National Response Network.
