Mozambique’s children face many challenges. The lack of education limits children’s opportunities – the country has no national early childhood development curriculum or strategy; large numbers of children are not in school due to a lack of facilities and difficult access. The quality of education has also suffered due to limited teacher training. Girls face even greater obstacles – the number of girls attending elementary school drops with each higher grade. Adolescent girls are particularly vulnerable to death and disability related to early pregnancy and childbirth. Additionally, Mozambique is affected by natural disasters that contribute further to the country’s widespread poverty and poor infrastructure.
