Mozambique Initiative Giving Tuesday Campaign
Access to electricity is challenging in rural Mozambique. United Methodist partners in Mozambique set the goal of equipping 50 parsonages with solar panels – a sustainable solution for providing power when there isn’t an electrical grid. Since this project began in 2022, your generosity has provided 18 parsonages with solar panels. Let’s help our partners take this project across the finish line this Giving Tuesday.
