Hope in Mozambique ( HIM ) was registered with the British charity commission in June 2007 .
Founded by George and Jill Nuttall, we first came to Mozambique in 2003 working at a children’s centre in Zimpeto. Our mandate since then has been to provide help to the poor, working closely with families and children in the local Community. We have a Mozambican young man who is our Project Manager and a small team in the UK. Our vision has always been to help young people, especially to attend school ,college, and University giving them opportunities in life they would otherwise have been denied. We assist families with food, clean water and medical care which in turn helps them stay together as family units and support themselves with dignity and independence. In 2011 we built our first home for a Family.
Our team in the UK includes:-
Jill Nuttal. Jill manages the day to day administration of HIM, keeping in daily contact with our Project Manager in Mozambique and directing operations both in Mozambique and in the UK. It is Jill’s drive and committed determination to help the most vulnerable in Mozambique and give them hope which would otherwise be denied them that fuels the work of HIM. Jill has lived in Mozambique, working amongst the street children and amongst the communities that live and work on the city garbage dumps. She still visits as often as possible and has close contacts with the communities helped by HIM.
Christine Courage and Sally Winship joined the team as Trustees for Hope in Mozambique in January 2010.
Christine visited Mozambique in 2008 which had a big impact on her.
Sally was a community matron with the NHS and has made many trips to Mozambique. The visits have had a profound affect on her, particularly working in the city dump (bocaria) with Jill and seeing the plight of so many desperate people. She is a great fundraiser and supporter, and continues to travel with Jill to check on the projects there.
