Our commitment is with the welfare of Mozambicans and with the continuous improvement of people's quality of life.

The Secretary of State of Manica, Mety Gonde, welcomed the initiative of Moza Banco, stating that "this is an important support because it comes to respond to the problems of those families affected by tropical cyclone Gombe and storm ANA, and that at this time they are still getting back on their feet".
