Centro de Encontro has developed many projects in Maputo over the past 17 years for street children in Maputo. Among them a school for the extremely poor children that live in the streets of Maputo; this is their only chance for an education. Unfortunately statistics have shown that for young people between the age of 16 and 20 yrs it is very hard to find a job. 
Centro de Encontro wants to focus on a practical vocational training for these school graduates with a lot of practical skills and a good prospective to start a business of their own.

The streetschool provides education for children who otherwise would not bew able to follow a proper education. Because the state stopped the supply of free schoolbooks and schoolmaterials it became necessary to buy books for the pupils in the First grades. Most books are workbooks so that each year some of the books must be replaced Other schoolsupplies that are required are student files, filing kabinets, writingpaper, notebooks and exercisebooks, chalk and blackboard erasers and pens.
