The Friars Minor based in the Manica and J\u00e9cua regions of Mozambique have been working for years to provide pastoral care and development opportunities to rural communities living in one of the poorest areas on the planet. In parallel with the activities of the S\u00e3o Francisco Farm<\/strong>, the friars are working to establish an agricultural institute that will offer quality training to the population spread across the more than 70 villages covered by the pastoral ministry of the rural parish of Our Lady of the Rosary. <\/p>\n The institute, which the friars hope to launch in 2027, will focus its efforts on young members of families who rely on subsistence farming<\/strong>. Lacking training and resources, these families manage to produce a harvest that is barely enough to feed their children and insufficient to improve their meager living conditions. <\/p>\n The training courses, which focus on modern, eco-friendly, and sustainable agricultural techniques<\/strong>, will be aimed at young family members, with a particular emphasis on female participation. The situation for women in Mozambique is, in fact, very difficult: Mozambique is one of the countries with the highest rates of child marriage<\/strong>, where child brides sacrifice their future and any chance of receiving even a basic education. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_blurb title=”Donate now for Sa\u00f5 Francisco Agricultural School in Manica” url=”https:\/\/dona.ofmfraternitas.org\/eng\/donate-for-the-sao-francisco-agricultural-school-in-mozambique\/” use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ icon_color=”#F1EDEA” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” header_text_color=”#F8F9FA” body_text_color=”#F7F4F2″ background_color=”#C1272D” text_orientation=”center” min_height=”100%” custom_padding=”5vh|2vh|5vh|2vh|false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/dona.ofmfraternitas.org\/eng\/donate-for-the-sao-francisco-agricultural-school-in-mozambique\/” hover_enabled=”0″ border_radii=”on|30px|30px|30px|30px” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_color=”rgba(0,0,0,0)” global_colors_info=”{}” transform_styles__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_scale__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_translate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_rotate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_skew__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_origin__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_scale__hover=”103%|103%” box_shadow_color__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” box_shadow_color__hover=”#6EBFD1″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n You can choose a specific project or leave it to us to allocate your donation where it is most needed.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][et_pb_blurb title=”Campaign 2025″ use_icon=”on” font_icon=”||fa||900″ disabled_on=”on|on|on” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”d751dde2-5417-4294-8844-d8b43be3cb6a” box_shadow_style=”preset1″ box_shadow_vertical=”0px” box_shadow_blur=”0px” box_shadow_color=”#6EBFD1″ disabled=”on” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” transform_styles__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_scale__hover=”103%|103%” transform_scale__hover_enabled=”on|hover” transform_translate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_rotate__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_skew__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” transform_origin__hover_enabled=”on|desktop” box_shadow_blur__hover=”14px” box_shadow_blur__hover_enabled=”on|desktop”]<\/p>\n Download PDF<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_blurb][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”0px|||||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_code _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”default” border_radii=”off|||20px|20px” global_colors_info=”{}”]Sustainable agricultural training that puts women at the center<\/h3>\n
