In MozParks we pride ourselves on being more than just a business, as we are constantly seeking for new ways to contribute to a more sustainable future and enhancing positively on the care we have for the planet. 

As we celebrate International Clean Energy Day, we are proud to share how we have taken a bold step to reduce our carbon footprint – the MozParks Head Office, located in Av. Marginal in Maputo is now powered by solar energy. This project was implemented by MozParks’ team of engineers and architects, led by our colleague Diana Amorim and our partners Logos Industries, who designed and installed a 15kW solar power system tailored to our energy needs. By combining the solar panels with hybrid energy technology we are setting an example of how business can embrace clean energy solutions without compromising operational efficiency.

With an average of over 300 sunny days each year, Mozambique provides ideal conditions for solar energy projects. From its vast open spaces to abundant natural resources, Mozambique has everything needed to become a leader in clean energy innovation.

Our General Director, Onorio Manuel, emphasized the significance of this step: “Mozambique has immense potential to lead in renewable energy adoption. By embracing solar energy, MozParks aims to inspire others to harness the power of the sun to build a cleaner, more sustainable future.”

Building on this initiative, we are planning to establish solar power plants in all of our industrial parks, starting with Mozal – Beluluane Industrial Park and Kenmare – Topuito Industrial Park, with others to follow. 

Another example of our commitment to sustainable progress is the African Green Economy Secretariat (AGES) which was launched recently. Driven by our parent company, ASEZA – African Sustainable Economic Zone Alliance, this initiative highlights sustainable and innovative projects across the African continent and serves as a knowledge platform, which unites stakeholders from both the public and private sectors to advance the green economy projects.

We’re proud to be powered entirely by the sun. And we hope our journey inspires other organizations to take steps toward embracing renewable energy and making sustainability a core part of their story.

As the new year begins, there’s no better way to set the tone than by coming together to make a positive impact. At MozParks, our commitment to building a thriving community extends beyond industry and innovation. It is rooted in the belief that meaningful support can transform lives. Recently, we had the privilege of contributing to the important work being done at Orfanato Dom Orione, an organization in Maputo dedicated to caring for those with special needs.

A Place of Hope and Care

Orfanato Dom Orione provides specialized care to 40 residents, aged 7 to 47, with various psychomotor disorders, who are supported by a dedicated team of 34 staff members. The orphanage also extends its support beyond its walls, providing basic food baskets to 50 families in the local community with children facing similar challenges.

During our visit, we were welcomed with open arms and smiles that spoke volumes about the joy within the orphanage. Interacting with the children reminded us of the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for everyone, regardless of their circumstances.

Beyond Financial Support

The orphanage’s facilities include a dental care room and a physiotherapy center, which not only provide essential services but also contribute to its sustainability. Such initiatives reflect the resilience and resourcefulness of the team at Orfanato Dom Orione, led by Fathers Dinis and Paulino.

Father Paulino expressed his gratitude, noting that the partnership with MozParks and our team’s collective effort is a cherished annual tradition. It is moments like these that reaffirm our belief in the power of coming together to make a difference.

A Word of Appreciation

This contribution would not have been possible without the dedication of our MozParks team and the broader community. To everyone who participated in this initiative, we extend our heartfelt thanks. Your kindness and generosity are at the heart of what makes MozParks not just a workplace but a community-driven organization.
