Seeking to increase literacy and raising people out of poverty

The Oneness-Heart-Tears and Smiles organisation has worked closely with an organisation in Maputo, Mozambique which is seeking to increase literacy and schooling and giving people the tools and skills they require to raise themselves out of poverty.

Four 20-foot sea containers, one 40-foot sea container and many air shipments were sent in July and August 2003 from Australia, Austria, Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United States. Items offered included building supplies, computers, medical and hospital supplies, food, educational material and gift bags for children in Maputo.
