QUALITY EDUCATION
One of the main constraints of primary education in
Mozambique is the lack of skilled teachers in remote
rural areas. Adding to the lack of qualified professionals,
the working conditions and the learning difficulties of
children in these areas post added challenges to the
implementation of universal education in the country.
The Ministry of Education reports that less than half of
the population finishes primary school, and of those who
do finish, there is only 8 percent transition to secondary
school. Among children who finish primary school, nearly
two-thirds leave the system without basic reading, writing,
and mathematical skills.
ADPP believes that quality education for all and the
promotion of lifelong learning is crucial for people and
communities to take control of their own development.
Education provides people with skills and tools they need
to navigate the world and empowers communities to take
an active part in sustainable development, while improving
livelihoods to break the cycle of poverty. Education is key for
rationalizing behaviors and modifying practices. Education
is also vital for reducing inequalities and enhancing gender
equality.
In short, education is the key that unlocks and facilitates the
achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1,
4, 5 and 10.
ADPP works in close collaboration with the Ministry of
Education and Human Development and has been at the
forefront of championing quality education for the last 3
decades. ADPP’s education programs have evolved to
meet the changing needs in the country and will continue
to do so.

Working toward the SDGs:

6. Teacher Training
The Ministry of Education and Human Development
reports that less than half of the population in Mozambique
finishes primary schools, and of those who do finish, only
8 % transit to secondary school. The overall literacy rate is
47%, with female literacy lagging far behind that of male.
One of the main constraints of primary education in
Mozambique is the lack of skilled teachers in remote
rural areas. Adding to the lack of qualified professionals,
the unsupportive working conditions and the learning
difficulties of children in these areas invited challenges to
the implementation of universal education in the country.
“Before I did not know how to communicate with
the students, but the preparation I am getting at
ADPP has given me a lot of confidence.
During the days of practicing at the Machava
Primary School, I started teaching smaller groups.
Today I have confidence and do my practicing with
the whole class”
- Joana Mateus Ndalinda, trainee student
“I am proud to be trained as a teacher at ADPP”

7. ADPP Teacher Training
Colleges
The ADPP Teacher Training Colleges also known as the
Schools of “Teachers of the Future” - were established
as a contribution to the Mozambican government’s effort
to improve the quality of primary education in the country.
ADPP’s 11 Teacher Training Colleges, the majority of
which situated in rural districts in all provinces, aiming
at preparing a new generation of teachers capable of
responding to today’s challenges. Primary school teachers
must be prepared to develop the schools and communities
in which they work. After graduation the new teachers are
employed at public primary schools, mainly in rural areas.
Graduates from the colleges have the possibility to join a
“Graduated Teachers’ Network” which offers continuous
professional training opportunities and engages graduates
in the development and exchange of new teaching
materials. There is a strong focus on the approaches that
promotes interactivity and encourages children to take an
active role in their own learning process.”
Results 2016
1.962 Students (982 men, 980 women) from
the 11 Teacher Training Colleges
234 Teachers active in the “Graduated
Teachers” Network.
Total graduated teachers from 1996 to 2016:
16,967 Primary school teachers
“With the quality of training, many challenges and
experiences and a lot of practice I now feel I am
ready to be a good teacher. After finishing my
course at ADPP, I will be able to work anywhere in
this country, because where there are children I will
be there to teach.’’
- Marcos Félix João, trainee student
“Where there are children I will be there to teach”

8. One World University
Institute for Higher Education
and Technology (ISET)
Growing demand for qualified teachers gave rise to ADPP’s
One World University in 1998, officially launched in 2005.
The University is situated in Changalane, Namaacha
District, Maputo province offering Bachelor degrees
through in-class and distance learning in Pedagogy and
Community Development. The degree in Pedagogy is a
qualification that enables graduates to teach in teacher
training colleges and other educational institutions. A
degree in Community Development enables graduates to
work in social development projects and programs with
communities for inclusive and sustainable community
development in the pursuit of eradicating poverty.
Amongst the university programs, there is a module on
learning while traveling and investigating. Through direct
engagement with diverse and local communities students
are given the opportunity to enroll in internships across the
country or abroad. For 3-4 months, students learn about
the social, cultural and economic conditions, practices and
languages of neighboring countries’ and communities. This
enables students to practice and enhance their language
and communication skills, while motivating students to step
out of their comfort zone and interacting with other people.
Learning and exchanging experience with others allows
students to develop a deeper understanding and respect
for diversity. According to the pedagogical objectives of
One World University, these skills are considered essential
and a requirement for all future teachers and/or community
development practitioners.
Graduates are equipped with improved knowledge and
skills to guarantee community and people empowerment
in their future jobs.

9. Vocational schools and
skill training centres
Every year, over 300.000 youth enter the job market in
Mozambique. Less than 3% attended high school and the
majority has no vocational qualification or training. As a
result, the vast majority of the youth who enter the labor
market annually lack basic education and skills.
The private sector creates less than 18.000 new jobs
per year. As a result, young people are forced into the
informal economy, with women and girls particularly at a
disadvantage.
Youth unemployment represents a sizeable economic
loss stemming from unaccomplished human resources.
Prolonged unemployment increases youth marginalization
and vulnerability to poverty.
Government alone cannot generate the necessary number
of jobs.
In response to these challenges ADPP has for the last
3 decades been operating vocational schools offering
different types of Vocational education and Training
programs: Agriculture, Construction, Hospitality and
Tourism, Business Administration, Community Instructors
combined with secondary education with grade 10 or 12
level certificate.
I always had a dream to one day start my own
business. Before I started the course at CCDC I had
no idea how to begin, but I enrolled for a “Sales”
course. It was the combination of training in the
class room and the practice I got from the internship,
which opened horizons for me. Today I have my
own hair salon. My dream do not stop with this, I am
sure I will manage to expand my business in future.

10. ADPP also offers 3-month short courses in vocational
skills at its flagship “Community Centers for the
Development of Competencies” program for out of
school unemployed youth in a range of occupations: civil
construction (brick-laying, electrical installations, plumbing,
painting), agriculture and livestock management, business
administration, IT, hospitality and tourism, including kitchen
support staff and waiter/waitress training and sewing. The
courses are combined with a 1-month internship at a local
company.
The Vocational Training centers are: ADPP Colégio
Politécnico Machava, Maputo province, Colégio Politécnico
Nhamatanda, Sofala province, Instituto Politécnico Nacala,
Nampula province

“I always imagined that the houses in my “bairro”
should be full of colors. I was without a job and
stayed at home with my aunt and other family
members. One day our local leader came to our
house and informed about the CCDC courses
at ADPP. This was my opportunity. Of course I
chose the painting course. Today my small painting
business employ 4 people and I earn my own
money”

11. Primary and Secondary
Schools
Community schools
ADPP is improving and promoting equitable access to
primary and secondary school education. ADPP runs two
primary schools for vulnerable children through “Formigas
do Futuro” in Chimoio, Manica province, and the “Children’s
Town” in Costa de Sol, Maputo City. The Children’s Town
is not only a primary school but also a home to 35 orphaned
children. In addition ADPP runs two secondary schools,
“No Caminho da Vitoria” and “Patrice Lumumba”, both in
Maputo province. Nearly 2.750 children and youth attend
these four schools every year.Results 2016
789 students studied in the primary
schools

“As a street kid, I could not see any future
ahead of me. Today I am a dog trainer, thanks
to the Maputo Childrens town that hosted
and educated me. Now, I can afford to take
care of myself, I have a family and children.
From the streets to a business owner.”

12. Education Projects
“Nikhalamo”,Girls Stay
in School
The project is working with 18 primary schools
and 3 secondary schools in Namacurra district
in Zambezia province benefiting 2.216 girls. The
project focus on primary school completion and
transition to secondary schools for vulnerable girls
by providing community grants as a substitute for
cash payment to cover fees and other costs in
secondary schools. It also concentrates at having
girl mentors as a safety net for providing ongoing
and psycho-social support to vulnerable girls,
increasing access to water and sanitation services
in schools, and life skills training in student clubs.
At the community level, interventions involve
community pre-schools and awareness of the
importance of girl’s education.
Sport and Play
The Teacher Training College in Macuse,
Namacurra district, Zambezia province, works
with 14 primary schools with Sport and Play-based
inclusive education. The project provides training
and mentoring for teachers, disseminates teaching
and learning materials in play-based methodologies
and have created reading and writing clubs in all
the schools. The project promotes action-oriented
learning, which occurs through sport and play-based
activities that have a physical, cognitive, social and
emotional focus. Sport and play are also used as
an incentive to improve enrolment and attendance
and as a mobilizing tool to engage communities and
stakeholders on key issues affecting education,
including gender issues.
GIRLS INSPIRE
The Girls Inspire project addresses early and forced
marriage and other barriers women and girls face
often preventing them from their full participation
in the various community activities. The project
increases access to sustainable livelihoods for
women and girls in the Nacala area in Nampula
province through open and distance learning.
The project works in 7 communities and the goal is
to reach 2.000 vulnerable girls.
In 2016, the first 242 girls started participating in
the program.
“I was the victim of premature marriage
and suffered a lot of abuse and was
prevented from continuing my studies.
The “Girls Inspire” project opened a
window of opportunity in my life. I went
back to school and today I serve as an
example to the other girls who are going
through similar circumstances”

13. Early Childhood
Development
“70 Preschools”
A major constraint about good results in primary
education is the fact that children enter the first
grade with no previous pre-school education and
often do not speak Portuguese, the official schooling
language. As a result, children spend the first years
of school learning Portuguese, which delays their
acquisition of reading and writing skills. To address
this issue, ADPP is implementing a pilot pre-school
education program in 70 communities in the districts
of Boane and Manhiça in Maputo province.
The project is part of a larger pilot initiative based on
governmentstrategyfortheintegrateddevelopment
of pre-schools for children, which aims at promoting
Early Childhood Development among children under
6 years of age and prepare them for enrolment in
primary schools, thereby contributing to improving
their academic performance and the overall quality
of their life in the long run.
Results 2016
24 pre-schools established and running

480 people trained in Parental Education
Active Citizenship
The project promotes active citizenship amongst
youth aged 9 to 17 years and works to increase
the capacity of schools to promote and educate
the youth in a culture and practice of citizenship
in addition to boosting cooperation with existing
citizenship networks. The project provides training
to school directors and teachers at 10 primary and
secondary schools in sub-urban areas of Machava,
as well as the teachers and students of the ADPP
Teacher Training College in Machava, Maputo
province.
Results 2016:
At each of the 10 participating schools, 60 young
activists were trained to lead the clubs, plan and
organize campaigns and events in the community.

councils and in-service teacher training. In 2016,
60 primary schools were supported with didactical
material and 200 teachers went through in-service
training with a positive impact on approximately
23.000 children.

14. School Feeding Program
“Food for Knowledge”
A major challenge to educational performance of pupils in
primary schools in Mozambique is malnutrition as it affects
the cognitive development of children. Students who are
hungry struggle to focus on their schoolwork and interact
positively with their classmates, while research shows that
student attendance levels rise when meals are provided.
In response, ADPP’s “Food for Knowledge” program pro-
vides primary school students with daily meals and en-
sures children have access to clean water, toilets and hy-
giene. The program also trains students in child health and
nutrition and establishes after-school learning clubs where
educational kits are distributed.
This project is based on the assumption that school meals
(i) motivate students to go to school and improve their at-
tendance; (ii) help to increase students’ attention during
class; and (iii) support global cognitive development. To fa-
cilitate its implementation, the project has created school
feeding committees, which include, among its members,
teachers, parents, community members and children
themselves. These committees are responsible for the
preparation and distribution of meals.
The project aims to improve school performance through
provision of school meals, water and sanitation, kitchen
and warehouse construction, extracurricular activity clubs,
school gardens and homegrown school feeding farms, nu-
trition education and reading and writing reinforcement in
the early grades are key components.
About 370.000 people in the districts of Manhiça, Magude,
Moamba and Matutuine benefit directly from the actions
developed. The project also supports the training of prima-
ry school teachers at the 11 ADPP Teacher Training Col-
leges and students at the pedagogy course at OWU/ISET.
RESULTS 2016:
79,226 children received daily school meals
11,846,770 daily meals served in selected
primary schools of Maputo Province
267 kitchens and storerooms built

15. HEALTH & Well-being
HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis (TB) and malnutrition constitute
major public health challenges hampering economic and social
development in Mozambique. Mozambique is amongst
the top ten ranked countries in the globe in terms of HIV
prevalence; and ranks fourth in the world in the number of TB
deaths among HIV-positive individuals. Similarly, it ranks high in
co-infection rates of TB and HIV. In 2015, WHO estimated 551
new TB cases per 100,000 populations and about 57% of new
TB infections among people living with HIV in Mozambique.
In addition, malaria is one of the major causes of child death
for those aged below 5 years in Mozambique. The general
malaria incidence in 2016 is 249 cases per 1.000 habitants,
while chronic malnutrition among children under 5 is 44%
according to the PNCM (National Program to Combat Malaria)
2016 report.
With 35 years of experience in grassroots-level community
development, ADPP manages one of the largest networks
of field staff and volunteers in the rural communities across
the country, in response to these epidemics. As a result of a
close collaboration between ADPP, the Ministry of Health and
key partners, we have managed to implement highly effective
community health interventions in prevention and treatment
of major diseases reaching approximately 1 million people on
annual basis.
These integrated prevention and care community interventions
include a leading Total Control of Epidemic (TCE) and TB
program in the global fight against HIV/AIDS and TB. Armed
with know-how and local expertise, ADPP has been using its
extensive experience to combat these health challenges in
partnership with individuals, villages and entire districts in line
with the Sustainable Development Goals.

16. TCE
Total Control of the
Epidemic - HIV
The Total Control of the Epidemic (TCE) is an intensive HIV
prevention and care, community mobilization and behavior
change program. It is based on door-to-door campaigning,
free and voluntary HIV-testing, and individual counseling
given by TCE Field Officers who regularly visit every family
in a given community. The objective is to make all members
of the community aware of their role in preventing the
spread of the disease and change risky behaviors.
In 2016, ADPP implemented projects focused on reaching
out to key at-risk populations such as female sex workers,
vulnerable groups including young girls, adult women,
truck drivers, mine workers, discordant couples and sexual
partners and children of people living with HIV.
HIV prevention packages, which include prevention
materials, counseling and testing, referrals to health
facilities and distribution of condoms, are provided by field
officers to each specific target group. Follow up sessions
offer the support to adopt safe sexual behavior and to
maintain treatment adherence.
As part of gaining control of the epidemic it is crucial
to reach out to and locate those living with HIV who do
not know of their HIV status to promote and encourage
treatment amongst their community. To achieve this,
ADPP is implementing community counseling and testing
in partnership with various partners including the district
and provincial health departments, based on index cases
received from the health facilities. An index case is a
person tested HIV positive at the health facility which gives
his or her consensus to receive a field officer at home and
receive counseling and testing of his or her sexual partner
and their children.

17. Total Control of
Tuberculosis – TC TB
ADPP is implementing TC-TB Projects focusing on reducing
the spread of Tuberculosis and related deaths by increasing
early diagnosis and treatment in the communities. The
approach emphasizes on contact tracing and door-to-door
active case finding through symptomatic screening to
identify TB cases in the communities, provide community
DOT (Direct Observation for Treatment) which increases
the awareness about prevention and treatment. The TC
TB project is implemented by activists and volunteers who
work in close collaboration with the local health facilities.
The TC-TB Projects are implemented in the Provinces of
Maputo, Gaza, Nampula and Zambezia for TB case detection
among general population and providing community DOT.
The project in Zambezia started the field activities in June
and in Nampula in August.
As part of a new health venture, ADPP is leading the
implementation of the Tuberculosis program in the Mining
Sector (TIMS) program. The program has been working
with the mining communities to create awareness about
TB and support people who are suspected to have TB and
to be tested and if positive, must be linked to treatment.
The TIMS program operates in 8 countries: Mozambique,
Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Lesotho, Swaziland
and Tanzania and began in July 2016. The program
targets mineworkers and their families due to their high
susceptibility to TB because of their exposure to silica
dust, poor living and working conditions leading them
to developing silicosis, which increases their risk of
developing TB. The implementation site in Mozambique
is in two districts: Guija and Xai Xai City in Gaza Province
mainly because of the high numbers of ex-miners and
active mineworkers working in South Africa and heavily
affected by TB live in those areas. The activities in the field
started in November and by the end of the year 10.593 ex-
miners and their families were screened and 1.122 found
with TB symptoms.

18. Community Nutrition
Improvement
In Mozambique 44% of children under five suffer from chronic
malnutrition. The immediate causes of chronic malnutrition
in Mozambique are inadequate access to food both in
terms of quantity and quality and the high rates of infectious
diseases. The consequences of chronic malnutrition are
not only increased mortality, poor health outcomes and
cognitive impairment, but also impact negatively on children’s
learning and productivity, thereby directly affecting economic
development.
In response, ADPP implements community-based nutrition
improvement projects in Niassa and in Zambezia. The Niassa
project is implemented in 8 districts. The interventions are
focused on children under 2, pregnant and lactating women
and teenage girls through a service package that includes
nutrition education, cooking demonstrations and distribution
of supplements, alongside positive reinforcement of
community and health services. The community intervention
is implemented by mother groups and girls clubs which
both mothers, pregnant/lactating women and teenage girls
form peer support groups led by community leaders. These
health system strengthening interventions improve the
management of severe malnutrition and the distribution of
nutritional supplements by providing on-job training of health
staff.
The Nutrition project in Zambezia “Nutri-Pesca”, started in
July. This project is implemented in 6 growth poles along
the coastline in Zambezia. The nutrition component aims
to improve the food diversification among 5.000 fishermen
families, focused on pregnant, lactating women and children
0-5 years, who will learn and improve the practices from
cooking demonstrations, demonstrations of vegetable
gardens and nutrition education in the community and in
schools. In 2016 a baseline study was carried out, and 1.000
women trained who subsequently created nutrition groups,

19. Environment &
Sustainable Agriculture
More than half of the population in Mozambique suffers
from food insecurity.
AccordingtotheInstituteofNationalStatistics,approximately
89% of total households are engaged in Agriculture,
Livestock, Fisheries or Forestry1.
Agriculture and livestock
are the main source of revenue for approximately 55% of
the households. The Ministry of Agriculture reports that
above 70% of the country’s labor-force works in agriculture
and depends on it as a source of survival. Small family
farms dominate and most family sector production is for
self-consumption. Small holder farmers account for 99%
of the total “farms” in Mozambique and less than 10% are
organized into associations or other forms of organization.
ADPP supports small-scale farmers and producers through
its innovative Farmers’ Clubs program, which aims at
breaking the cycle of poverty by improving food security and
enhance the sustainability of livelihoods and ecosystems.
The program organizes farmers in self-support groups and
provides them with support and capacity building in climate
smart or climate-friendly agriculture.
In line with the SDGs, the aim of the Farmers Clubs is to
provide farmers with the tools and knowledge to positively
change their lives and improve their climate resilience.

20. Farmers’ Clubs
programmes
In 2016 ADPP implemented 4 different projects.
(i)The Farmers’ Clubs for wealth creation among smallholder
farmers with a total of 15,565 farmers in Sofala and Zambezia
province; (ii) Value Chain Development Approach for small
scale agriculture with a total of 2.250 farmers in Sofala
province; (iii) SUSTAIN Mozambique started with 2,000
producers in Tete province; (iv) Reinforcement of productive
capacity, marketing and income generation for 250 farmers
in Cabo Delgado province.
The program is based on farmers themselves as the
principal force in improving their production, livelihood and
income. An important part of the success of the program, is
that a group of farmers agrees to collaborate in a non-formal
structure - in clubs. Approximately 50 farmers in a club
agree to participate and contribute to the programs’ goals
for increased and varied production, provide enough food
for the family to improve livelihood and to earn income from
establishing access to markets. All this goes hand in hand
with new learning from training sessions and practice in field
demonstrations, combined with experiences and ideas from
the farmers, driven by action after action. The program takes
several years, since there are many changes to make and
many challenges to overcome. Seasons and climate play a
key role in the mainly rain-fed production for small farmers,
especially with more frequent negative effects caused by
climate changes. For sustainable results a 3 year program is
required as minimum.

Before each of us worked alone on his/her field
and our production was just for consumption.
The ADPP Farmers’ Club Project has helped
us to be organized in clubs, taught us new
techniques of conservation agriculture and
paved the way to market our products. Today
we work as a team and we earn much more.
“The irrigation system gave us hope”

21. The program is divided into periods, each with its own topic
and headings, raising farmers’ skills and techniques to new
levels, in successive steps when farmers and producers start
experiencing the benefits from the combination of inputs,
training, demands and cooperation among themselves as
farmers and producers, we see and welcome results like:
Successful clubs transform into legal association, saving and
creditgroupsareestablished,clubsacquirebankaccount,apply
for funding or loans from government schemes, negotiate
better prices for their products, etc. Different methods are
taken into use for producing results, most importantly are
the Farming Instructors. The Farming Instructor or extension
worker lives in the same area as the clubs and their members.
Heorsheistheorganizer,thetrainer&mentor,problemsolver,
coordinator on all sides, inclusive to the existing government
extension system and other partners for 5 clubs and their
250 members. He or she is under continuous training and
supervision of ADPP and equipped with relevant manuals,
training materials and plans, so that they are in a position
to deliver the necessary guidance and support for both the
farmers and the project to become successful.
Producers’ Clubs
The latest project, is Producers’ Club Project in Tete province,
which was designed to respond to the challenges of climate
changes experienced by the communities in 3 districts , where
the clubs both consist of farmers, animal husbandry farmers,
fishermen and women.
The overall objective of the project is to promote synergy
between the resources of nature and the way agricultural
and fishery productions are being done thereby increasing
the production and income of the farmers. The program is
focused on the introduction of Climate Resilient water and
landscape management practices that create a sustainable
economic growth in the communities, with the involvement
of private partners and public institutions.
The program is part of the Sustainability and Inclusion Strategy
for Growth Corridors in Africa (SUSTAIN Africa) implemented
in the Zambezi Valley Corridor and covers the areas of
agriculture, fisheries, livestock, water, soils and landscape.

22. ADPP Second Hand
Purchasing second hand clothes is a preferable and
affordable option for both poor rural communities who
cannot afford new clothes and shoes and those looking
to contribute to the development of the country. The
selling of second hand clothing creates jobs and stimulates
entrepreneurship in the country.
The first donation of second hand clothes organized
by ADPP was in the beginning of the 1980s as part of
emergency aid to the country torn by civil-war. The selling of
clothes was initiated a few years later with the first sorting
and processing centers established in 1988, followed by
opening of sales outlets throughout the country in the
years to follow.
The income generated from the sales by ADPP is used to
support funding its development projects, especially in the
education area.
The project itself creates many permanent jobs: From
importing, processing & categorizing and re-packing clothes
in bales to be sold through its network of sales outlets.
Also many secondary jobs are created from the customers
buying their clothes from ADPP wholesale and reselling in
local markets.
“ADPP Second Hand” comprise of 1 sorting center & main
warehouse and 20 wholesale outlets across the country,
providing affordable and good quality clothing and footwear
to approximately 3 million people yearly. In 2016 this
created 195 permanent jobs, besides offered a source of
income for 3.500 + retailers in the country.
Distribution of Clothes
In the last quarter of 2015 and in the 1st quarter of 2016
ADPP organized distribution of 180 tons of clothes to a total
of 26.515 families, benefitting approximately 119.000 people.
The distribution took place to assist vulnerable communities
in Central and Northern Mozambique. The communities were
identified by local leaders and through networks of community
based organized working with orphans and vulnerable children.

With this project our lives have
changed. We used to grow crops
in small plots, and today we grow
them in hectares. Before we had
to pound our corn and today we
have the grinding mills (...) we are
progressing (...). Our lives have
been changed!

25. Through the
Federation national
members have created
a body that allows
them to:
• Discuss issues of common interests on
many levels gain access to comprehensive
experiences of other organizations working in
the same field
• develop programs with uniform standards, to
ensure they benefit from better quality and
more efficiency
• Draw on assistance in many professional fields
• cooperate to maximize results of clothes
collection and sales
• speak with a common voice in international
development thus increasing the scope of
influence of their programs
To name just a few of the benefits.
THe Federation HUMANA People to People has
continued to provide services to its members to
have the needed expertise and to uphold high level
on accounting standards.
The Federation Humana People to People
and the members
ADPP is a member of the Federation Humana People
to People, an umbrella network of development non-
government organisations founded in 1977 by a group of
thought-leaders with a common desire to tackle the world’s
major humanitarian, social and environmental challenges
through empowering local communities.
In 1996, as the movement grew, the then 16 members
established a united Federation to step up cooperation
and facilitate members’ efforts to increase the quality and
impact of their work.
Since the establishment of the Federation, the projects
have reached millions of people across the globe. The 31
members operate in 45 countries around the world including
12 countries in Africa, 3 in Latin America, 4 in Asia, 25 in
Europe and 1 in North America.
The Federation and its members employed more than
16,000 people in 2016.
The development projects in Africa, Asia and Latin America
are operated by 14 members, while 17 members in Europe
and North America work with resource generation in
environmental sustainability sector projects through the
collection and selling of second hand clothes with the added
benefit of mitigating the impact of climate change.
