Message From the Mozambique Country Director, Nancy Fitch
Bom dia and welcome to EGPAF Mozambique! After two years as the Foundation’s country director in Rwanda, I have made the switch to Mozambique and am settling into my responsibilities here, while also perfecting my Portuguese. I’m thrilled to be serving the Foundation in yet another beautiful country.
Our program in Mozambique has been rapidly expanding since its inception in 2004 — from a staff of just a few to more than 70 today. All of us here are dedicated to improving access to HIV prevention, care, and treatment services to women, children, and families in the areas we serve — from Cabo Delgado and Nampula provinces in the north of the country to Gaza and Maputo provinces in the south. Thank you for your interest in our exciting program!
