On February 6, 2026, the staff of the Foundation for the Conservation of Biodiversity (BIOFUND) promoted a solidarity action to support families affected by the floods and inundations that hit southern Mozambique in January of this year.

The heavy rains recorded at the beginning of the year caused flooding in several areas of the southern region, resulting in significant material damage, displacement of families, and worsening vulnerability conditions for numerous households.

In light of this scenario, BIOFUND (its staff and members) joined the collective humanitarian assistance effort, channeling its support through the Volunteers Anónimos de Moçambique (VAMOZ).

VAMOZ is a civil society volunteer movement that operates in emergency situations, delivering essential goods to affected populations, thanks to the solidarity mobilization of citizens and institutions. Based on the principle that “we do not receive money, but we build bridges,” the organization has played a relevant role in responding to humanitarian crises.

Within the framework of this initiative, essential food items, hygiene and cleaning products, drinking water, clothing, and footwear were delivered, contributing to alleviating the immediate needs of the affected families.

The company Mozsecurity, Lda., a service provider to BIOFUND, also joined the cause, donating nine basic food baskets, demonstrating its commitment to social responsibility. The initiative demonstrates the strength of a network of staff, volunteers, and partners who unite when communities need it most.

With this action, BIOFUND staff reaffirm that biodiversity conservation goes hand in hand with social commitment, especially in moments when communities face emergency situations and greater fragility.
