The Millennium bim bank has provided essential food supplies to the Casa do Gaiato in Boane, Maputo province, as part of its corporate social responsibility programme, “Mais Moçambique Pra Mim.” The donation includes rice, maize flour, spaghetti, cooking oil, sugar, and beans, aimed at supporting the institution’s provision of meals to vulnerable children and youth.
Casa do Gaiato acts as a refuge for children and adolescents in precarious situations, offering education and support. Each day, the centre serves over 300 meals to its residents, students, and staff.
Rui Pedro, the President of the Executive Committee of Millennium bim, underscored the significance of Casa do Gaiato’s work for the youth it serves. He stated, “We recognise the value of this mission and seek to contribute meaningfully to the needs of the institution through our support. It is also a way to express gratitude for the dedication of those who care for these children and young people every day.”
Beyond addressing food security, Casa do Gaiato strives to provide an environment of stability, learning, and personal development, balancing daily care with educational and life skills preparation.
In 2021, Millennium bim had previously supported Casa do Gaiato by supplying an irrigation system for its farm, aimed at boosting agricultural production to enhance food availability for the children and youth residing there.
Officials from Casa do Gaiato expressed their gratitude for the assistance from Millennium bim, recognising the importance of this collaboration in sustaining the institution’s operations and its ongoing efforts to support vulnerable children and young people.
