Parte da população de Matchedje tira água num poço tradicional
The water that looks like milk is the one that serves to drink other needs.
Residents in the villages of Mohola, Matchedje-Aldeia, and II Congresso, located in the Sanga district of Niassa province, northern Mozambique, are calling for the lack or insufficiency of wells for drinking water.
The population resorts to traditional wells, swamps, and unprotected springs along the river, fearing they are becoming ill.
Matchedje is one of the richest regions in Mozambique due to its abundance of natural resources, particularly in animal conservation and precious stones (such as gold).
Moreover, it was the area where the strategy to expel Portuguese colonialism was being implemented. However, the population lives on the edge of extreme poverty, lacking almost everything, with drinking water being one of the most serious issues.
In these areas, only travelers and some miners opt to buy bottled water, but most of the population relies on unprotected wells along the rivers, swamps, and traditional wells located in animal conservation areas, and they also consume the same water from these traditional wells. (Ma Mathaca)
