Reaching out to orphans and vulnerable families
In Chibuto, in the province of Gaza, a mother of four was expelled from her house with her four children, when her husband died from Aids six years ago. She lost all she had. Her house, her belongings, her status in society and she was even abandoned by her two eldest children. This is sadly a very common practice in this part of the country. Available studies and data suggest that the existing patriarchal culture and male-dominated social order is strong in the country.

FOCUS ON WATER and SANITATION

UN Secretary-General message
The theme of this year’s World Water Day is water and food security. Agriculture is by far the main user of freshwater. Unless we increase our capacity to use water wisely in agriculture, we will fail to end hunger and we will open the door to a range of other ills, including drought, famine and political instability.
