In late 2019, therehabilitation of the only school that accommodates high school students that was severely damaged after the passage of Cyclone Kenneth (April 2019), Eduardo Mondlane School, began.
The roof was rebuilt and access to drinking water sources was prioritized through the rehabilitation of water and sanitation infrastructure (wells, hand-washing points, cisterns and latrines).
