BASELINE SITUATION
As per the decision from the central government of Mozambique, the schools in Maputo were closed in the summer of 2020 due to widespread Covid-19 infections. In response to the nationwide school closures, WfW combined resources with the local authority Maputo City Council (CMM) and the partnership organisations Water & Sanitation for the Urban Poor (WSUP) to work towards a timely resumption of regular school operations at 50 primary schools in Maputo. Our joint efforts successfully prevented the affected students from missing another school year and further exacerbated existing social inequalities.
MEASURES
The reopening of 50 primary schools has been made possible through the implementation of comprehensive protective measures that ensure a safe resumption of classes in line with all current regulations.
SCHOOL REOPENING CEREMONY
WfW has worked intensively with local authorities and partnership organisations to ensure that schools can be opened again under safe conditions and that pupils do not miss another year of education. At the school reopening ceremony Edmundo Ribeiro, City Councilor for Education and Sports in Maputo, inaugurated the provided materials.
