Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The price of making the dream of returning home come true is around \u20ac3 a month, which is the amount that each participating woman has to contribute to a solidarity savings scheme in Ngalane, a camp for displaced people in northern Mozambique.<\/p>\n

The fee of 200 meticais (\u20ac2.70) is a large sum for those who have lost everything and lives on donations, but Muanansali Dade, 49, does odd jobs every day, mainly cleaning fields for those in need, to earn and save enough money to contribute to the savings group \u2013 or \u2018xitique\u2019 as it is known in the region \u2013 at the end of the month.<\/p>\n

The group, made up of 25 displaced women living in the Ngalane camp in Metuge, near Pemba, the provincial capital of Cabo Delgado, gathers every last Sunday of the month, in the afternoon, under a leafy mango tree.<\/p>\n

Sitting on the ground or on tarpaulins donated by relief organisations, they prepare food for the occasion and each give one of the people in the group, previously selected, the sum of 200 meticais.<\/p>\n

Each month, one person is selected and the result of the savings will reach all of them, according to the tradition of this ancient savings scheme, which also helps families and gives hope in Cabo Delgado.<\/p>\n

The women come together as the Kulipilila group, which in the local Quimu\u00e2ni language means \u201cto support\u201d \u2013 something they have been doing together since May.<\/p>\n

Maimuna Antumane, a 52-year-old mother of four children aged between five and 27 \u2013 all out of school \u2013 is happy: she was among the first in the group to receive money from the xitique, a total of 4,800 meticais.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will save it to go back to Quissanga,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Before the rebel attacks life was already difficult in that coastal village, but with the war the scenario worsened, with Maimuna losing everything. She sees the xitique as a possible way \u201cto start again\u201d \u2013 to replace the fishing net, her livelihood, which was burnt during the attacks.<\/p>\n

Anat\u00e9rcia Carlos, 37, one of the youngest in the Kulipilia group, and mother of four children, does not want to remember the past and the days when she fled from insurgents\u2019 gunfire with her children.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was two sleepless days,\u201d she says. \u201cMy brother was kidnapped and to this day I don\u2019t know his whereabouts or whether he is alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

He was, she said, everything to her in a world where neither ever knew their father.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe xitique is welcome,\u201d she said. \u201cI want to buy products to sell in Quissanga.\u201d<\/p>\n

The group\u2019s leader, Muanansali Dade, supervises the meeting while keeping an eye on the children.<\/p>\n

Like her fellow members, she has left everything behind, including the nets she once used for fishing and her documents. She spent seven days on the run without water or food, to escape the violence, together with her six children. Now she is looking ahead towards other horizons, with a savings group that is one of the ways to dream again of a better life after the war.<\/p>\n
