The non-governmental organisation World Vision Mozambique (WV-Moc) announced that it has built 887 boreholes and 84 water supply systems over the past five years, directly benefiting around 448,000 people across the country.
According to a statement cited by Lusa on Tuesday (21), WV-Moc has played a key role in expanding access to safe drinking water in Mozambique, contributing to improved living conditions in rural communities.
“World Vision has played an important role in expanding access to potable water in Mozambique. Over the past five years, its interventions have directly benefited around 448,000 people nationwide through the construction of 887 boreholes and 84 water supply systems,” the document reads.
In Nampula province, in northern Mozambique, the results have been particularly significant. Between 2023 and 2025, the organisation’s focused efforts have benefited about 167,000 people, with the installation of 394 boreholes and 40 water supply systems. These infrastructures have helped reduce waterborne diseases and improve the quality of life for local populations.
For the next five years, WV-Moc plans to implement its Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Operational Plan 2026–2030, which sets out key priorities and targets for the sector. This new strategy, launched on Tuesday in Nampula, aims to “strengthen sustainable access to safe drinking water, adequate sanitation and hygiene practices in vulnerable communities,” promoting health, well-being, and dignity for children, families, and communities across the country.
Recently, on October 13, World Vision Mozambique announced new initiatives in Zambézia province, where more than 2,500 people will benefit from community infrastructure in Maganja da Costa district. Among the projects delivered were 256 double school desks for over 500 children, five water boreholes benefiting around 1,700 people, and a children’s playground for approximately 600 youngsters.
World Vision is a humanitarian organisation active in over 100 countries, working to eradicate poverty and protect vulnerable children, while promoting sustainable community development and access to dignified living conditions.
