COW Overseas Mission 2019 x
Center of Hope, Mozambique

From 1 - 12 July, our Executive Directors Charmaine J. Nah & Regina Loo travelled to Chibuto, Mozambique to learn from and explore future collaboration opportunities with Center of Hope.

Center of Hope is home to 27 orphans ranging from the ages of 4 to 17, some of whom were HIV positive or orphaned due to HIV. The centre not only cares for children and funds their schooling, but it has also been able to create a thriving community that is providing job opportunities for locals in the area and working towards a green and sustainable farming model to expand its work.

COW mobilised volunteers in Singapore to collect clothes aid and sponsor winter fleece jackets as gifts, along with handwritten notes for each child. Charmaine and Regina toured the Center and visited various areas in need in and around Chibuto. It was an eye-opening trip and COW is looking forward to being able to send over teams once the COVID-19 pandemic is over.
