What we do

Vital projects, far beyond what we could have imagined

Because we partner with trusted national leaders who understand their communities, we’re able to come alongside them as they identify needs and develop solutions that bring lasting change.

Bringing clean water closer to home

A well may seem like a simple thing. But in a rural community in Mozambique, it can change everything. CFO-MOZ has helped fund three protected wells equipped with hand pumps for our partners’ communities.

14%of rural residents have a nearby water source
90%+of water-collecting households rely on women & girls
54%of rural Mozambicans use unimproved water
~8,000deaths/yr linked to unsafe water & sanitation

A protected well means more than water — it means health, dignity, opportunity, and hope. It can mean a mother no longer walks miles for water, and girls have more time for school.

Schools

Creating opportunities for children

Education can change the trajectory of an entire family — and ultimately, an entire community. CFO-MOZ has helped fund the construction and development of schools where children have limited access to quality education.

4.9%of Grade 3 students read at grade level
7.7%demonstrate age-appropriate numeracy

The schools we’ve helped build provide safe, welcoming environments for children to grow academically, socially, and spiritually — including school buildings, teachers, uniforms, supplies, and daily meals.

Other Building Projects

Safe and dignified places to live and serve

Homes for Widows

Small brick homes for widows in Elias’s community who once lived in makeshift huts — bringing safety, security, and dignity.

Homes for Ministry Partners

Safe, secure homes (and repairs) for partners’ own families, so they can focus on serving rather than worrying about their own shelter.

Buildings That Make Ministry Possible

Kitchens, dormitories, outdoor bathrooms, and flooring for a church and multipurpose building — each removing a small barrier to daily life.

Transportation

Keeping our partners moving

Few people in Mozambique own cars, and public transportation can be a harrowing, crowded, unreliable experience. For our ministry partners, dependable transportation is essential — to transport staff, bring children to school, deliver supplies, and respond when someone needs help.

One partner serves in a particularly remote location, reached only by a rugged dirt road filled with deep ruts and bumps. CFO-MOZ has been able to help provide dependable vehicles when the need arises — helping our partners spend less time worrying about how they’ll get where they need to go, and more time doing the work they’ve been called to do.

These are not simply projects — they are expressions of what happens when people come together to bring life and hope to a community.
