Rawlplug & HELPO. We support the construction of a school in Mozambique
Education is the foundation of a better future, which is why Rawlplug is proud to support the construction of new classrooms at Murothone School in Mozambique. Thanks to this initiative, 652 students now have comfortable learning conditions—and this is just the beginning of positive change!
Education as the foundation for a better future
At Rawlplug, we believe that education is the key to a brighter future. Investing in children's learning and development is essential, not only for individuals but also for entire communities. We strive to build not only solid structures but also strong foundations for the growth of those who need it most. That is why we are proud to have joined an initiative organized by @HELPO, in collaboration with other corporate partners, to support the construction of new classrooms at Murothone School in Mozambique. Thanks to this effort, 652 students now have the opportunity to learn in a more comfortable and well-equipped environment.
This is more than just a new space for education - it represents a chance for a better future, greater opportunities, and inspiration for young minds to pursue their dreams. For many of these children, who previously studied in challenging conditions, these new classrooms provide the right setting to support their growth and daily learning experience.
Official inauguration and plans for further development
On January 31, the official inauguration of the newly built classrooms took place, marking a significant moment for both the school and its students. During the event, students not only explored their new learning spaces but also received school supply kits to help them in their studies.
However, this is just the beginning. Local education authorities have confirmed that next year, Murothone School will be upgraded to a primary school, offering education up to Grade 9. This means that even more children from this part of Mozambique will have access to a structured and continuous educational path, opening up new opportunities for their futures.
HELPO – an organization changing children's lives
This initiative is led by HELPO, a non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting education and development in Mozambique through Child Sponsorship Programs and infrastructure projects. Since 2008, HELPO has been working to improve the lives of communities affected by poverty by providing access to education, food, maternal and child healthcare, and humanitarian aid.
Its key initiatives include:
- Building schools and preschools
- Establishing canteens and nutrition programs
- Developing rainwater harvesting systems
- Providing essential medical care
Many of these efforts take place in remote areas of Mozambique, where access to basic infrastructure is extremely limited, and the nearest paved roads are often hundreds of kilometers away.
Rawlplug has been actively supporting this initiative since last year, joining a network of companies that have made a real impact on the lives of hundreds of children.
