Message From Founder

A Message from Dr Carol Dalglish Founder of Awaken Mozambique

“I was impressed by the people I interviewed, many of whom had spent the best part of their lives as refugees. They have been the victims of short term projects that have often left them without the means to continue to rebuild their world. The people that I met, whilst suffering abject poverty, have great initiative are concerned not only for their immediate families but for an extended family and the community and culture that has faced so many challenges in the past.

Awaken Mozambique has at its centre, the intention to help these creative and hardworking people become self sufficient, providing them with the knowledge and skills to run an association that will link them with the resources of the west, and provide them with an opportunity to develop a business culture that best meets the needs of the locality.

It is intended that this project will become self sustaining, so that the entrepreneurs of Beira are not vulnerable to the changes in funding policy.”
