A public space for Muxara
In the Muxara neighbourhood of Pemba, Cabo Delgado, ALPS Resilience is building a public space for the whole community, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration. Where there was open ground, a complete public space has taken shape, built in phases: a covered pavilion with a metal roof, tiered concrete stands, walkways, urban furniture, standalone solar lighting, and an all-weather sports field with a football and basketball court and a shaded place to


A community centre for Mocimboa da Praia
In Mocimboa da Praia, Cabo Delgado, one of the towns most affected by years of conflict, ALPS Resilience has built a new community centre, in partnership with the International Organization for Migration. Where there was an empty plot, there is now a place the neighbourhood can call its own: a blue-and-white building with an inclusive access ramp, built block by block by our own local team, to international standards, even in a demanding recovery setting. A community centre i


Safe sanitation for Palma's schools
Clean water is only half of what WASH means. The other half is safe sanitation, and in the schools of Palma District that means proper toilet blocks that give children, and especially girls, a reason to stay in class. As part of its wider water and sanitation work, ALPS Resilience has built separate, durable latrine blocks at a school in the district, each with its own superstructure and drainage, and placed within easy reach of the classrooms. It is unglamorous infrastructur


Built to deliver: how ALPS keeps more of the funding on the ground
In places as remote and hard to reach as northern Cabo Delgado, how work gets done matters as much as what gets built. ALPS Resilience keeps as much of that work, and as much of its cost, in the communities and provinces where we operate. ALPS uses three different drilling rigs, chosen by borehole depth and ground conditions, from a light rig for shallower wells to a heavy tracked machine for the deepest boreholes, together with a high pressure compressor to prepare and devel


The ALPS compound in Palma
Working in northern Cabo Delgado means keeping a secure base close to the communities we serve. This year ALPS Resilience completed its own operational compound in Palma: a walled, gated yard with secure storage for materials, plant and vehicles, and space to prepare and stage works. For years, programmes in the region have carried the cost of renting yards and compounds, an expense that ultimately falls to the funders. A permanent ALPS base replaces that recurring rent with


More than water: our work across Cabo Delgado
Water is where recovery often begins, but it has never been the whole of what ALPS Resilience does. Across Cabo Delgado, and through years that rarely made it onto this website, our teams have built and rebuilt the everyday places communities depend on. This year, working with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), that has meant a new community centre in Mocimboa da Praia and, in Muxara, a public space with an all weather sports field, its concrete court complet
