Meet Aissa, she is a 24 year old health promoter from Maxaquene.
"I've been doing interpersonal communication activities since 2009. With Tem Mais we have more topics and more challenging goals", she says.
Each week she delivers integrated health messages in her community on the topics of Family Planning, Malaria, HIV, Nutrition and Water, Sanitation & Hygiene.
"I visit the houses in the mornings, when the women are still cleaning and cooking", Aissa says. She does door-to-door activities in over 30 households every week. "Then, in the afternoon I go home, cook dinner and after I go to school", she adds.
Just like Aissa, over 250 Health Promoters are working across Mozambique to empower their communities, as well as themselves.
