Helping to make a world of difference

Rosie has been out to Mozambique four times, and has volunteered at several charities whilst there, all of which have been caring for children that had been orphaned or abandoned. After returning from her third trip, she felt frustrated that there was no simple way to financially support the work being done there, or keep in touch with the progress being made. So Project Moz was born! This allowed all sponsorship and donations to be sent together, reducing bank transfer costs, and offering people around the UK the opportunity to demonstrate love and support to individual children within the All Nations houses.

Within Project Moz, Rosie is responsible for correspondence with All Nations Mozambique and with UK supporters, and is the Charity Director. Her full time work and study in the UK also involves working with children.

Colette has travelled to Mozambique in the summer of 2007 and 2008, and experienced two different organisations, both of whom are making a difference in the lives of children within the country. She was also unhappy with the idea of ‘leaving it behind’ when returning to the UK, and felt that the ultimate reason for her visits to the country was to be able to assist with making an ongoing difference to the lives of the children there.

Colette has responsibility within Project Moz for the fundraising projects that are done within the UK, including selling jewellery made by Mozambicans, and for raising awareness of the needs of the country and of the ways in which Project Moz aims to help. She works within the education sector.

Unity is the Director of Marketing and a trustee for Project Moz, and also takes on the official secretary duties. Her first trip to Mozambique was in 2010, when she spent time at the All Nations babyhouse, helping to care for the children and assisting staff with necessary outings, trips to hospital, etc.

Unity's profession when in the UK is as a nursery chef, and Unity is therefore able to work alongside All Nations to help devise nutritionally balanced menus for the children.
