Sustainability in Action

We are committed to positive and transformative impact. Here are some ways they do it at andBeyond Benguerra Island.

Protecting the Ocean
The Bazaruto Archipelago, which includes Benguerra Island, consists of five islands off the southern coast of Mozambique, all part of a national marine park. As part of andBeyond’s Oceans Without Borders program – founded in partnership with nonprofit collaborator Wild Impact – marine rangers serve as stewards of the ocean, its wildlife, and the coastal communities that exist nearby. As part of the initiative, these groups are actively completing fish catch surveys as well as monitoring marine habitats like coral reefs, seagrass beds, and mangrove forests to help animals ranging from vulnerable dugongs to endangered hawksbill sea turtles.
Committing to the Community
Through its collaboration with Wild Impact, andBeyond has developed a number of initiatives that directly support African communities. One such project, called Future Foundations, helps implement crucial education or wellness institutions. Completed in 2019, the Benguerra Island Health Centre, which provides fundamental healthcare for island residents from the villages of Chizungune, Bavene, and Chiringoma, provides primary care as well as HIV and malaria testing in an effort to catch and treat these disorders early on. Funds are also being raised to hire a full-time doctor for the facility.
Paving the Way
One of the programs that has been essential to andBeyond and Wild Impact’s partnership is the Community Leaders Education Fund. Talent and potential are at the forefront, with special education bursaries allocated to college-aged students from various African countries. Since the program’s inception in 1996, more than 1,200 scholarships have been given out, but it was just recently that students from the Bazaruto Archipelago were selected. As part of the initiative, rural students also return to their former high school campuses to encourage future generations to apply for CLEF and college in general.
