CWS has opened an office in Maputo, Mozambique, with a special focus on serving women and children. Initially supporting efforts in Mozambique, Malawi, and Angola, the office will expand several innovative programs: Giving Hope, which is working to empower orphans and vulnerable children affected by HIV; Water for Life, which brings solutions for community-based sustainable water development; Angola's Literacy for Women's Solidarity and Social Change (pictured); and Mozambique's PEDRA program for girls' education and protection. "We aim to strengthen civil society," notes Tammi Mott, CWS Associate Director of Social and Economic Development, who is directing the effort.
