The trail of destruction left by Cyclone Chido continues to have a profound impact on the lives of thousands of families in Pemba, the capital of Cabo Delgado province. Real stories, collected by the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund - UNICEF Mozambique, reveal the devastating impact of the disaster and the strength of communities to rebuild their lives.<\/p>\r\n

Some of these stories presented by UNICEF Mozambique on its website are presented here by MozaVive. One of the stories is that of C\u00e1tia Biche, from the Metula neighborhood, who recalls the moment when the cyclone hit her house in the early hours of the morning.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

\u201cThe sheets of metal flew like sheets of paper. We had to flee with the children to a neighboring house,\u201d she says. With the shelter destroyed, she saw her family living in a makeshift shed, struggling to feed her children and ensure they could return to school.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Osvaldo Abudo, from the Chuiba neighborhood, says he has lived a similar reality and is looking for ways to rebuild with limited resources.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

\u201cWe raised 500 meticais to buy bamboo and wire. Everyone does what they can to build a shelter,\u201d he says. His greatest wish is to ensure his children\u2019s education: \u201cWithout notebooks or folders, it will be difficult for them to keep up with their classes,\u201d he says.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

Still in Chuiba, Mariamo Cacos lost practically everything and reveals that to this day she suffers from desolate situations such as the lack of food on the table.<\/p>\r\n

\r\n

\u201cSometimes I go the whole day without eating,\u201d she laments. Her daily struggle is to ensure at least one meal for her children. \u201cOnly God wanted us to survive. Now, we need support to start over,\u201d she says.<\/p>\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\n

UNICEF is dedicated to ensuring special protection for disadvantaged children, victims of war, disasters, extreme poverty and all forms of violence and exploitation, as well as those with disabilities.<\/p>\r\n
