The Kym Rapier Foundation will launch, in the coming months, a comprehensive support project for the Mafuiane Peasant School in the Namaacha district, which includes the construction of a bakery, poultry farming facilities, acquisition of new land, and purchase of tractors.

The announcement was recently made by the foundation’s patron, Kym Rapier, at the end of a visit to the school’s facilities during a political camp gathering 100 peasant women.
“This is my first time in Mozambique, but this is one of the best countries I have ever visited in the world,” she said, explaining that the goal is to strengthen the local production chain:
“We want to build a bakery, create spaces for poultry farming, acquire new land to expand the fields, and buy tractors and all necessary equipment,” she explained.
Kym Rapier also emphasized that the support will not be limited to the school, implying that the foundation intends to reach more associations and rural initiatives at the national level.
“This will definitely happen in the near future. Afterwards, we will expand every year across the country,” she stated, indicating that the approach will be gradual but sustainable.
The visit to Mozambique is part of a broader mission by the Kym Rapier Foundation across the African continent.
“We are traveling all over the world. We went to Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda. We left Zanzibar, and now we are getting to know Mozambique,” she explained.
The foundation leader emphasized that the selection of countries does not follow a fixed criterion, but rather the intention to identify and support vulnerable communities globally.
The patron also praised the conditions she found in the country, stating that it is “the best country we have visited in Africa.” She recommended Mozambique as a tourist destination, highlighting the “incredible accommodations” and the “perfect beaches” of the so-called Pearl of the Indian Ocean.
“What we are trying to do is help people generate income through agriculture. Our main goal is to show those with resources that it is important to start supporting.”
The Kym Rapier Foundation describes itself as a “story-driven” philanthropic organization, with a mission to empower neglected communities and promote inclusive opportunities.
