From Guns to Ploughshares: What Mozambique Teaches Us About Resilience
Matthew Pickard, Regional Director for World Vision Southern Africa, reflects on Mozambique’s powerful example of post-conflict recovery and resilience. Drawing from personal experience in Niassa Province after the civil war, he emphasises that peace is not solely the product of political agreements—it is built and sustained by communities. Yet, Mozambique’s peace remains fragile. In Cabo Delgado, ongoing insurgency has displaced over 50,000 people since early 2024.
He reaffirms that Mozambique’s story underscores a critical development truth: sustainable peace is people-powered. When local leadership, civil society, and governments collaborate, transformation is not only possible—it’s inevitable.

Where the tarmac ends; a journey of transformation begins
Joseph and Ephrasie, a couple from Nyamasheke near Nyungwe National Park in Rwanda, have transformed their lives from extreme poverty to stability and hope. After years of hardship, eating once a day and working on others’ farms, they received support from World Vision through the Hinduka Wigire (Ultra-Poor Graduation) program. This included mindset training and a $95 start-up capital.
Joseph took the training seriously, stopped tending others’ cows, and began raising his own. Their lives improved significantly: they now earn about $110 monthly from milk and organic fertilizer, can feed their children well, and support their education and health. Their marriage also grew stronger, and they now live with mutual respect, love, and shared Christian values.
