Estava a fazer alguma pesquisa para o nosso projecto e encontrei um site com uma pequena descrição de cada uma das Missões! Partilho-as aqui!






Barada

Barada is located on the bay of Beira, on the Indian Ocean. It is easily accessible by the sea. The area is densely inhabited, with agronomic perspectives, and from a naturalistic point of view, of a breathtaking beauty.

The Mission comprises a secondary school with 1670 students, (520 in the boarding school), and a dispensary with only one nurse and an obstetrician. A furnished carpenter shop is also used for the development of professional students.

Several hectares of land belonging to the Mission are occupied by 30000 coconut trees, which will need to be renewed to guarantee good productivity. Other areas are destined to forage for farming.

The Mission is equipped also with a bakery, which produces bread for the students of Barada and Machanga (so students can eat some bread every week, and thus vary a bit their diet).

Located about 200 Km from Beira in the internal savanna, Estaquinha is a plain territory, typically rural and isolated. During the wet season roads often are closed or flooded.

A primary school was established here with 1540 students (380 boarding students).

Estaquinha is equipped with a dispensary and a health-care center in which are working two nurses and an obstetrician. The health-care center serves about 30000 inhabitants.

In the property of the Mission, trees for fruit and wood are being planted, and areas are dedicated to foraging, for farming. Estaquinha is 95% self sufficient.
