About the Movement
Ku Vikela Nwana in Shangaan language means “Child Protection”
We are a movement dedicated to protecting children in Mozambique.
Through community engagement and trainings we form a protection network to prevent child sexual abuse
What we do
Awareness • Identity building • Prevention
- Awareness – Seminar for parents, teachers, and communities.
- Identity building – School programs, Child protection material and tools to teach kids (Protection Dolls and books)
- Prevention – mobilizing activists that will engage in this cause and bring protection for their communities.
The Situation in Mozambique
- More than half of the population in Mozambique are children.
- The pregnancy rate before the age of 18 is 57%.
- An average of 15 cases of child sexual abuse are reported daily to the official hotline.
- Only a minority knows about the official hotline, and even fewer people report cases.
Mozambique is among the 10 countries with the highest rate of child marriage at 48%. - Cultural aspects and traditions that normalize abuse contribute for all this reality
Why Child Protection Matters
A safe childhood is the foundation for a strong life and a strong society. Protecting children supports healthier individuals and families, stronger communities, and long-term national development.
