Numerous Bantu\nlanguages are spoken along with Portuguese. Many words and expressions are\nborrowed between languages, we like one very much: Machamba, from the Swahili\nterm Shamba, which means cultivated land or plot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At WEbuiliding we have an ongoing project that involves a Machamba, it\u2019s an ecological farm that will supply the <a href=\"https:\/\/fundacionkhanimambo.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Munti Centre of Khanimambo Foundation<\/a>. They have been working there for ten years, at <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Xai-Xai\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Xai-Xai in the province of Gaza<\/a>, south of Mozambique. They focus on children and families from close-by communities, in education, health, and nutrition support. Everyday four-hundred kids eat at Munti Centre, where they already have a small Machamba, managed by a group of mothers whose children attend the centre. The mothers sell them part of the vegetables they harvest, and thus the program has fresh and healthy supplies! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this project, together with Khanimambo Foundation we\u2019re <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"http:\/\/we-building.org\/humbi\/\" target=\"_blank\">building a larger Machamba of 15 hectares<\/a>, that\u2019ll generate new training opportunities, employment, and social growth. We\u2019ll oversee the architectural design and construction and will be implementing sustainable techniques and bioconstruction with materials from the region. On October 2019 we had our site visit to Mozambique and we ate loads of delicious plates, one that we enjoyed a lot was Xima, a type of porridge made with water and corn flour. Xima is eaten as a staple carb in most meals, and usually comes with a vegetable or meat stew. Other vegetables that are widely grown in Mozambique, and at Munti Centre\u2019s Machamba, are potatoes, cassava, carrots, squash, chards, spinach, aubergines, and legumes like nhemba beans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even with its high agricultural potential the rate of chronic malnutrition affects 43% of children under five years of age, according to the country\u2019s most recent Demographic Health Survey. So, to ensure a healthy diet, at Munti Centre they have weekly menus based on specific child nutritional needs. In the video below you can meet Guida, the centre\u2019s nutrition specialist who shares their strategy to tackle chronic malnutrition with knowledge and a bit of magic soup\ud83d\ude09. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"ast-oembed-container\" style=\"height: 100%;\"><iframe title=\"\u00bfC\u00f3mo actuamos con ni\u00f1os y ni\u00f1as afectados por una desnutrici\u00f3n cr\u00f3nica? - Fundaci\u00f3n Khanimambo\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j4N7K9Ew_hc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mozambique is a multilingual country.
