Chiwarà Project is actively involved in a series of flood mitigation and disaster risk reduction interventions across three key districts of Cabo Delgado, Mozambique: Nacuta, Natuco, and Namuapala. These interventions aim to strengthen the local communities' resilience to flooding and natural disasters, improving their capacity to withstand the increasing impact of climate change.

​

Our work focuses on:
 

1. Improving Rainwater Harvesting Systems: In Nacuta, the project enhances three water basins used for agricultural purposes, significantly expanding their capacity and reinforcing their structural integrity with bamboo sealing and grass planting​.

2. Reinforcing Drainage and Water Management Infrastructure: In Namuapala, we are constructing a protective perimetral fence around the local school to safeguard it from seasonal flooding, alongside creating drainage trenches across the village to manage rainwater effectively​

3. Sediment and Water Storage Basins: As part of a broader flood risk mitigation effort, we are developing sediment accumulation basins to manage floodwaters, preventing the siltation of rivers and maximizing water retention for local agricultural use​.
    

These efforts, supported by local and international stakeholders, are designed to minimize the damage caused by seasonal floods and to provide long-term water management solutions for rural communities. By strengthening both the natural environment and built infrastructure, this project enhances the region's resilience to climate risks while promoting sustainable development.
