What we do
KAMINHOS upholds a holistic vision of child development. We recognise that children cannot learn when they are hungry, unsafe ore emotionally overwhelmed. The CPS Sisters, together with local educators and volunteers, operate four Daycare Centres in the provinces of Maputo (3) and Tete (1):
- Daycare Centre of Massaca – "Luz"- caring for 120 children
- Daycare Centre of Impaputo – "Girassol" - caring or 120 children
- Daycare Centre of Namaacha – "Esperança" - caring for 80 children
- Daycare Centre of Tete – "Chikulupiro" - caring for 120 children and 25 elderly/blind caretakers
Through these centres, KAMINHOS puts its mission into practice by providing:
- Nutrition & Daily Care by two warm meals per day, safe spaces and material to learn, play and grow.
- Education & Vocational Training fostering access to schooling and professional education and educational support in small groups, providing vocational education and internships.
- Psychosocial & Emotional Support in offering individual guidance and emotional care by the sisters and the staff, as well as psychosocial support for traumatized children.
- Family & Community Engagement by supporting families through regular home visits and counselling, conducting workshops on education, family strengthening and awareness of child protection and sensitization of the community through advocacy work on children`s rights with district entities.
All centres are open weekdays from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
