In the Cabo Delgado region of Mozambique, the Augustinian Sisters are empowering vulnerable women farmers through sustainable agriculture, teaching them climate-smart farming methods that build self-sufficiency and family security in the face of growing climate change. The project is also helping the farmers make important strides in protecting and restoring their environment.
A recent article from the National Catholic Reporter (June 12th 2025) highlights the work of the Augustinians in Mozambique with funding from Misean Cara.
In 2024, this project received a Misean Cara Climate Action Award for its innovation and commitment to helping farmers prepare and adapt to ever-increasing climate shocks.
“In Mozambique, the Augustinian Sisters identified a need to work, particularly with women farmers who had been economically marginalized, where there were high levels of malnutrition, and where there was the highest dependency on farming, both for food and income,”
John Moffett,
