Mozambique
Meet Will and Debora!
Since arriving in Mozambique, Will and Debora have already witnessed God open remarkable doors for ministry. Through AMMA and local partnerships, they have helped reopen a Christian school that was vandalized in 2024, now serving 65 children ages 2–6. They also rebuilt a medical clinic and restored two water wells in the village of Quinga.
Debora volunteers at Casa Nutri, caring for malnourished babies, disciples women, and serves on the worship team at Evangelho da Graça Church in Nampula.
Will also helped restore an airstrip that had been closed since 1994, making the first landing after its restoration. This renewed access will help bring medical care, supplies, and gospel ministry to communities that are difficult to reach by road. Additional improvements include a maternity bathroom and a flatbed truck to transport schoolchildren and ministry supplies.
More work is needed to build out the airstrip, and to ensure it continues to serve the community. Project funding goal: $20,000
Below are some projects currently in need of support.
Housing for Medical Mission Teams in Quinga
Remote communities often lack access to consistent medical care, and the absence of safe, reliable accommodations makes extended medical missions difficult. In Quinga, a previous visit by the MozMed flying doctors program was successful, but the team had to fly in each morning and leave early in the afternoon because suitable housing was unavailable. As a result, hundreds of patients were left without the opportunity to receive care.
Tamarind Global is partnering with the Romualdos to help make sustained medical outreach possible. The proposed project will construct practical, secure housing for visiting American and Brazilian medical teams, enabling pediatric and general medical care to reach more families over multiple days. When medical teams are not present, the facility will be available at reduced rates for missionary rest and renewal, generating modest income to help cover ongoing maintenance.
Project funding goal: $175,000
PEPE Christian Preschool in Nampula
Children are among the most important investments a community can make in its future.
Through the PEPE early childhood education program, churches can provide vulnerable children with foundational learning while introducing them to the love and truth of Jesus.
Originating in Brazil, PEPE has expanded internationally, including throughout Mozambique. Its church-based model combines early education with Christian teaching, helping prepare children for formal schooling while strengthening families and equipping local educators and church leaders.
The Romualdos plan to establish a PEPE preschool at Evangelho da Graça Church in Nampula, serving 55 children. The program will include age-appropriate activities in language, mathematics, music, art, movement, and understanding the world around them, alongside biblical instruction.
Project funding goal $25,000
Sustainable Agriculture in Liupo
Food security and proper nutrition are essential to healthy families and thriving communities. In Liupo, the Romualdos plan to introduce the Sisteminha, a sustainable, family-scale agricultural system developed by EMBRAPA, Brazil’ss agricultural research corporation. Designed to operate on a relatively small plot of land, the system integrates fish farming, vegetable gardens, chickens, composting, and other appropriate agricultural activities. Water from the fish tank helps irrigate crops, while organic waste is recycled into fertilizer. This closed-loop approach reduces waste, conserves resources, and minimizes the need for ongoing outside inputs once the system is established.
The project is designed as a one-time investment in essential infrastructure, tanks, animals, plants, and startup materials. After implementation, the system can continue producing food with relatively low ongoing costs.
By improving access to nutritious food and demonstrating practical stewardship of God’s creation, this initiative will help families become more resilient while strengthening relationships between the church and the surrounding community. The project will be developed in partnership with Brazilian Pastor Andre Weber, who has lived and served in Liupo and Nampula for 22 years through his organization, Pãoda Vida (Bread of Life).
Project Funding Goal: $55,000
Shoes for those in need
Something as simple as a pair of shoes can protect children, widows, and the elderly from injury and illness and help them walk to school, church, and work with confidence.
$100 provides shoes for 50 people.
