🌾 Harvest of Hope Recovery Programme 🇲🇿 Sofala, Mozambique TT-HOH-MZ-02 Planning

Community Prevention and Peer-Recovery Network — Mozambique

Builds a network of school clubs, peer-recovery champions and a community referral desk so that young people learn the risks of substance use early and know where to turn. It prepares the ground for the Sofala rehabilitation farm and reaches families who cannot yet be admitted.

Problem to solve

Adolescents learn about drugs and alcohol from peers, with no accurate information, no trusted adult to talk to and no referral route when a problem starts.

What the evidence says

AFP reported on 25 September 2026 that drug-related hospital admissions in Mozambique rose 38% to more than 32,280 in a year, and that consumption is rising steadily as the country moves from transit route to consumer. School and peer-led prevention is the earliest and cheapest point to act.

Expected outcome

Young people know the risks and where to get help, peer champions are active in every school, and early cases are referred before dependency deepens.

Target population

About 5,000 adolescents and young people in 20 schools and communities in Beira and Dondo, plus 150 peer champions and their families.

5,000 people targeted
