A Century of Educational Partnership<\/strong><\/p>\n During the summer of 2025, the S\u00e3o Francisco de Assis Community School, located in Mocumbi, Mozambique was facing a shortage of classroom seating. Students were sitting on the floor during lessons which hindered the teaching and learning process, so Franciscan Missions wanted to help.<\/p>\n The school is part of the S\u00e3o Francisco de Assis Mission, located in the southern Inhambane province of Mozambique. Since the mission’s founding in 1909, the Franciscan friars have worked in the community by educating young people, with a particular focus on the advancement of young women in society.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
