Community Development Programs
Serving Millions with Faith and Compassion
The Missions Department of the Diocese of Zambezia understands that healthy communities are thriving communities. That's why a core part of our mission is improving access to basic healthcare, clean water, sanitation, and proper nutrition.
When people lack these basic needs, it affects everything from a child's ability to learn and grow to a community's economic well-being. Diseases that are easily preventable take a heavy toll, and without clean water and sanitation, illness spreads quickly

Community Health
Building Healthy Communities in Zambezia
The Missions Department of the Anglican Diocese of Zambezia prioritizes the health and well-being of our communities. We understand that access to basic healthcare, clean water, sanitation, and proper nutrition is crucial for a community to thrive.
These fundamental needs influence everything from a child's development to a community's economic prosperity. Preventable diseases pose a significant threat, and without clean water and sanitation, illness spreads quickly.
We work alongside local communities to address these critical issues by:
-
Fighting Malnutrition: We provide programs that ensure children and mothers have access to the nutrients they need.
-
Promoting Clean Water and Sanitation: We help communities build latrines and improve hygiene practices to prevent disease.
-
Supporting the Vulnerable: We offer programs that address the specific health needs of people living with HIV and other illnesses.
Nutrition program
Fighting Hunger and Building Stronger Communities in Zambezia
The Missions Department of the Anglican Diocese of Zambezia is committed to ending hunger and promoting healthy lives in our communities. We believe that sustainable agriculture is the key to achieving this goal.
Our nutrition programs focus on empowering families to grow their own nutritious food and achieve long-term self-sufficiency. Here's how:
-
Sustainable Farming Techniques: We train farmers in methods that increase food production while protecting the environment.
-
Improved Nutrition: We promote a variety of crops to ensure families have access to a balanced diet.
-
Income Generation: We provide livestock and training to help families generate income and improve their livelihoods.
-
Drought Resilience: We distribute drought-resistant seeds to help families cope with a changing climate.
Your support allows us to provide families with the tools and knowledge they need to build a brighter future. Together, we can create a world where hunger is no more.
Agriculture
Empowering Small-Scale Farmers in Zambezia
The Missions Department of the Anglican Diocese of Zambezia is committed to fighting hunger and improving livelihoods in our communities. We partner with churches and local organizations to empower small-scale farmers, who are the backbone of our rural economy.
We use a value-chain model to address the challenges faced by small-scale farmers, particularly women farmers. Our programs focus on:
-
Increased Food Production: We provide training, tools, and resources to help farmers improve their agricultural techniques and grow more food.
-
Market Access: We help farmers connect with local markets to sell their produce and increase their income.
-
Financial Empowerment: We partner with organizations to provide farmers with access to credit, allowing them to invest in their farms and grow their businesses.
By supporting small-scale farmers, we are investing in the future of our communities. These programs contribute to food security, economic growth, and a brighter future for all.
WASH program
Bringing Clean Water and Sanitation to Communities in Zambezia
The Missions Department of the Anglican Diocese of Zambezia understands that access to clean water and sanitation is essential for a healthy and thriving community. That's why WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) programs are a cornerstone of our work.
Clean water is vital for life itself, and proper sanitation and hygiene practices prevent the spread of disease. Without these basic needs met, communities struggle to develop.
We partner with local organizations to implement sustainable WASH solutions that meet the specific needs of each community. Our programs include:
-
Building Wells and Water Systems: We provide safe and reliable access to clean water, reducing waterborne illnesses.
-
Hygiene Education: We teach communities about proper handwashing and other hygiene practices to prevent disease.
-
Sanitation Facilities: We help communities build latrines and promote proper sanitation practices.
-
Water System Maintenance: We train community members to maintain water systems, ensuring long-term sustainability.
By providing access to clean water and sanitation, we create a ripple effect of positive change.

Building Stronger Communities
The Missions Department of the Anglican Diocese of Zambezia is committed to supporting communities not only in times of crisis, but also in building long-term resilience.
Disaster Resilience
We understand that disasters disproportionately impact those already facing poverty and vulnerability. That's why we focus on:
-
Preparedness: Empowering communities to prepare for potential threats through early warning systems, evacuation plans, and household emergency kits.
-
Mitigation: Promoting sustainable practices like tree planting and soil conservation to reduce the impact of natural disasters.
-
Response: Providing emergency assistance and supporting long-term recovery efforts.
Working for Peace and Justice
Our mission is rooted in justice for all. We work alongside communities to address critical issues like:
-
Climate Change: Advocating for climate action and training communities in sustainable farming practices.
-
Gender Justice: Empowering women and girls through education, leadership development, and support programs.
-
Gender-Based Violence: Partnering with faith leaders to prevent and respond to gender-based violence, promoting healing for survivors.
