The weak rains have failed to Grow maize subsistence agriculture, practiced by most of the population does not always produce the expected results: some years the rains are scarce and, with what you produce, the f amiglie can not eat.
In the single province of Sofala, where Solidaria and 'taken nte with nine measures of support to children, the crop has gone almost completely lost in many places'.
In Nhamatanda district, one in which there is a greater number of children and supported one of the most affected by drought, have lost about 28,000 hectares of cereal crops, which have involved 22,450 households from a total of 40,150 existing.
