Caritas Mozambique was established in 1977 to help Zimbabwean refugees and people affected by disasters such as floods, droughts and cyclones. Since then, it has been at the forefront of rebuilding people’s lives in the aftermath of 16 years of civil conflict that severely damaged the economy.

Caritas Mozambique has helped more than five million people in 12 dioceses, focusing chiefly on relief and development programmes, literacy, skills training, capacity building, HIV/AIDS prevention and providing credit.
