Feed babies’ dreams in Mozambique

Help us feed malnourished babies in Mozambique! We want lots of babies smiling and taking their first steps at Pfuka U Famba!

GASPORTO is a Portuguese NGO that, in the village of Macia, in Mozambique, has been developing the Pfuka U Famba program since 2014. The Pfuka U Famba Program, which means “get up and walk” in the Changana language, operates in a Nutritional Rehabilitation Center and its action is based on the daily supply of food – powdered milk, enriched porridge and soups –, guaranteeing this support until the baby's nutritional status recovers. In addition to meeting immediate needs, GASPORTO focuses its intervention on the importance of appropriate training and training for caregivers.

According to UNICEF, chronic malnutrition in Mozambique affects almost one in two children under the age of 5! Let's combat these numbers and feed Mozambique's malnourished babies. Together we fuel this dream!
