Taking into account that each family will have on average five people, it is estimated that between 900 and a thousand people may benefit from water collection.<\/p>\n<p>The Big Hand now intends to create a new school there to avoid children having to walk eight kilometres to another village &#8211; a distance that leads to school dropout.<\/p>\n<p>The Portuguese NGO was founded in 2010 and, according to its own data, supports 5,000 children in several villages in the province of Manica. &#8220;It is true that the global crisis makes fundraising difficult, but people still have an enormous heart and a giant will to change the world and so they keep on contributing,&#8221; said David Fernandes. There are fundraising campaigns underway, such as &#8220;a pencil for a school&#8221;, in which each pencil is worth the contribution of one euro, and other initiatives described on the organisation&#8217;s website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The village of Chipaco, in central Mozambique, now has clean drinking water and it is the most recent beneficiary of the projects of the Portuguese non-governmental organisation (NGO) Big Hand, the organisation announced Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":672,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[59],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
