Yesterday, Thursday, in Maputo, a press conference was held to launch Moza Banco's institutional campaign, through which Moza reaffirms its position as a bank that believes in and invests in Mozambique and Mozambicans.

On this occasion, the Bank established a partnership with the Clarisse Machanguana Foundation (FCM), an organization that actively works to empower women and girls, especially those in vulnerable situations.

The meeting with journalists and project partners also served as a platform for public recognition of Clarisse Machanguana's career, with emphasis on her international career, having been the first Mozambican to play in the biggest basketball league in the world: the WNBA.

The agreement between Moza and FCM will lead to a fundraising campaign that should benefit the Foundation, boosting opportunities in sport and education for underprivileged girls and young women across the country.

During her speech, Clarisse Machanguana highlighted the fact that the Foundation's project includes teenagers and young dreamers who face challenges that she herself once faced.

"I was young once too and I've faced different barriers on my journey, so the journey of the girls the foundation supports is very similar to mine. It's extremely satisfying for me to see the results of what we're doing. That's why I want to reiterate once again that everyone's help is fundamental to the success of this project," said Clarisse Machanguana.

For the President of Moza's Executive Committee, Manuel Soares, the successes that have been achieved through Clarisse's project attest to the transformative power of sport and education in the process of building a more equitable society, in which women dream and Make It Happen.

"For us it is a duty and at the same time a privilege to support causes that drive the progress and sustainable development of our nation, particularly that of women. I salute everyone who believes in the power of social transformation, especially the institutions that have identified with this project and joined us on this journey to make the dream of young Mozambican women happen," said Manuel Soares.

With the aim of praising women, helping them to believe in their potential and make their dreams come true, Moza has defined 2024 as the year of the Mozambican woman, and since its inception the bank has been implementing various initiatives in favor of women, especially the Moza Women project.
