Sport for change & rugby for development in Mozambique - Bhubesi Pride Foundation

A former Portuguese colony, dating back to the late 1400s, Mozambique borders the Indian ocean to the east, as well as Tanzania, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. Despite its rich resources, Mozambique is listed as a developing country. We work with township schools in the coastal capital of Maputo, including Mafalala.

Since working in Maputo, Bhubesi Pride Foundation has developed a relationship with the Maputo Rugby Club driven by the inspirational Alexander Marques. Alex, a former Portuguese national player, is passionate about developing rugby in Mozambique as well as players and coaches through the game. He, alongside others, is now developing the federation’s vision to develop the game nationally. We coach 250 boys and girls on our annual visits, lead coach education workshops with 20 local players and provide opportunities for Mozambicans to travel to other countries on our expedition.

** Due to pandemic-related restrictions on international travel, we have put a pause on volunteer engagement activities in Mozambique, until further notice. **

In partnership with the federation, Bhubesi Pride Foundation is reviewing ways the charity can further the work carried out to-date and contribute to development in other parts of the country.
