Millennium bim supports “Escola do Caminho Longo”

The initiative, developed in partnership with the Helpo Association, tells the story of 20 young survivors of the humanitarian crisis in Cabo Delgado province.
Millennium bim and the Helpo Association recently staged a photographic exhibition called “Escola do Caminho Longo” (“The Long Road School”), an initiative that highlights the dilemmas faced by 20 young people displaced by the effects of the floods and the humanitarian crisis being felt in Cabo Delgado province. Opened in the Jardim dos Professores, the exhibition is the work of the writer Maria João Venâncio and the photographer Luís Godinho.

Supporting artistic and cultural productions and events in aid of solidarity is one of the pillars of action of Millennium bim's “Mais Moçambique pra Mim” Social Responsibility programme, which has been implemented over the years with significant impact on the lives of Mozambicans. For Millennium bim, the “Escola do Caminho Longo” exhibition aims to raise awareness of the continuing need to support those affected by the crisis in Cabo Delgado through high-impact initiatives that celebrate fraternity and help awaken consciences to humanitarian issues.

The works that make up the “Escola do Caminho Longo” exhibition, opened in the Jardim dos Professores, are by the writer Maria João Venâncio and the photographer Luís Godinho.

On the occasion, the CEO of Millennium Bim, José Reino da Costa, said that “solidarity with and assistance to the victims of the current situation in the north of the country is a continuing mission for all Mozambicans. We cannot remain indifferent to the dilemmas and hardships faced by our compatriots affected by the effects of climate change and by the insurgency. That is why, through this photographic exhibition, we wish to share their story, while also hoping to awaken all of us, as a society, to extend a helping hand along this long road that is part of our school as Mozambicans.”

The “Escola do Caminho Longo” exhibition can also be seen in the cities of Pemba and Beira, and it has also been shown in Portugal, at the National Coach Museum, the Colombo Shopping Centre and the Gaia Shopping Centre.
