Our projects

Everything we do serves two long-term goals for Sofala’s Miombo landscape: ending extreme poverty and reaching zero deforestation by 2030. These are the projects taking us there.

Mulched agroforestry beds established by the 3R project in Cheringoma

3R — Resiliência Tripla (Triple Resilience)

✓ Completed — June 2026 📍 Cheringoma & Muanza 🤝 Embassy of Sweden

Our first major programme strengthened the social, economic and climate resilience of communities in the Beira Corridor. Over three years, 3R trained more than 250 lead farmers in agroforestry (half of them women), established 8 community tree nurseries with capacity for 40,000 native seedlings a year, created first formal jobs for women, and reached thousands of people with training on sustainable farming, climate change and fire control.

● Active 📍 Sofala Province 🤝 Multiple funding partners

Building on the results of 3R, the Resilience Corridor programme deepens our work on rural livelihoods and landscape restoration — supporting farmer groups, value chains for crops and non-timber forest products, and community-led natural resource management along the corridor between Muanza and Cheringoma.

Through the Small Grants Programme we support community-based initiatives that combine conservation with concrete local benefits — from sustainable agriculture and beekeeping to community forest management — putting resources directly into the hands of the people who look after the landscape.

Girls’ Clubs — Clubes de Raparigas

● Active Cross-cutting 📍 Condue & Maciamboza 🤝 Private donors

Our Girls’ Clubs help girls stay in school and out of early marriage. In weekly sessions the girls strengthen reading and writing, share healthy meals, and take part in workshops on ecology, civic education and reproductive health. The clubs run from their own space — a library and multipurpose room with solar power and satellite internet — and include a digital literacy programme for girls and women.
