Love the Oceans Conservation
Why teach children at Guinjata Bay to Swim?
Mozambique is a coastal country prone to cyclones and all sorts of water disasters. People who cannot swim naturally fear water. The answer to overcoming this fear is learning how to swim. In Guinjata bay swimming gives people hope. Hope that should the water come they can swim their way to safety. After the success in this one specific village the plan is to expand to other villages across Mozambique. ‘
Problem Solving
Building a life saving swimming pool in Guinjata Bay, Mozambique, to teach locals to swim. The goal is to transform the community for the better.
- Job creation for trained swim teachers since the economy of that area of Mozambique is marine eco-tourism depending on scuba diving trips. 10 teenagers become assistant tutors, and train one new teacher: Mozambique’s first citizen with a Safety Training Award Level 2 qualification. “For our second summer we were able to expand and focus on open water swimming, teaching rescue work, and CPR
- Reduction in drive time– children had to drive 45 minutes to go for lessons at another swimming pool
- Safe space to train swimmers and save lives
- More time spent on teaching -double the amount of swimming lessons
Community Building: Connections & Collaboration
