Reflecting on 2025 Distribution Week

We just got done with Distribution Week! As we reflect on an incredible distribution week in Mozambique, we are filled with gratitude for our supportive community. Our dedicated team worked tirelessly to prepare materials and ensure that every student received the supplies they needed for their new school year.

As parents and students arrived, eager to receive their backpacks filled with school supplies and uniforms.

Their joy is a testament of the hope and opportunity you provide

Our team members were equally inspired, sharing heartfelt words about the impact of this week. Team member Mariazinha shared, “The 2025 distribution went very well. The highlight of the distribution for me was when I received messages from two mothers who wrote to thank me for the materials they had received.”

Throughout the week, we witnessed the connection between you and the students. As our team handed out supplies, it served as a powerful reminder of the partnership between our supporters and the students. For the students, this was more than just receiving materials; it was knowing that there are people who believe in them and are invested in their futures.
