We advance families and access in Mozambique
Since 2003, Advance has been working to build thriving, sustainable communities and improve the health of individuals and families in Mozambique.
With our partners, NGUNI, a local NGO, Advance supports families in Mozambique through access to clean water, nutritional education, and HIV/AIDS testing and support. We’re training local families how to sustainably produce nutritious food and maintain sanitary water systems, fostering healthy families for generations to come.
