Mozambican culture counts on Moza!

The Governor of Sofala Province, Lourenço Bulha, inaugurated on Monday morning, a Power Transformer Substation (PT) in the District of Maringue, funded by Moza, as part of its social responsibility programme.

The inaugurated infrastructure is located specifically in Regulado de Samater in the Nhamithembe Village, in the region and will benefit over two hundred families and several local public infrastructures.

Moza’s support for this cause arises in response to a request from the District Government expressed at the time the Moza branch was inaugurated in that District, in March of this year, an event led by President Filipe Nyusi. Made aware of the issue, and recognising the importance of the provision of electricity for economic and social development, the Bank unreservedly attached itself to this initiative.

“We would like to thank Moza Banco for promptly responding to our request. The inauguration of this PT is proof of the Government's efforts for the expansion of socio-economic infrastructures with the objective of leveraging the productive capacity and bringing well-being to the people, with greater focus on rural areas. The arrival of energy to the population of Nhamithembe means the materialisation of one of our goals, namely the placement of infrastructures that boost productive activities, job generation and an improved quality of life for our population,” Lourenço Bulha said.

The inauguration ceremony was witnessed by the CEO of Moza Banco, Manuel Soares, who highlighted the importance of the infrastructure for the local population and reiterated the Bank's commitment to actively contribute to the social and economic progress of communities, particularly in the regions where the Bank has a commercial presence, such as the District of Maringué.

“As we identify with the issue, we have made efforts and mobilised the necessary resources to make this dream a reality. The Bank expects that the electricity system just inaugurated will help boost economic activity in this village and attract other essential services whose installation was dependent on the availability of quality electricity,” he indicated.

The Bank also took advantage of the event to proceed with the donation of agricultural seeds to local farmers, with a view to strengthening the productive capacity of Maringue District for the 2022/2023 agricultural year that begins this October.
