A public space taking shape in Muxara, Pemba
In the Muxara neighbourhood of Pemba City, ALPS is building a shared public space for families and children together with IOM. A covered pavilion for events, multi use fields, shaded seating, garden benches and solar lighting are being brought onto one site, with a full length accessible ramp so the space works for older residents and people with reduced mobility. Muxara is one of the peri urban neighbourhoods that has grown fast as families displaced from northern Cabo Delga


Restoring six boreholes in Chiure
In partnership with Save the Children, ALPS is rehabilitating six Afridev handpump boreholes across Namogelia, Marrere and Halaka in Chiure district. Chiure has absorbed many families displaced from further north in Cabo Delgado, and the a dded pressure has told on the water points communities depend on. Each borehole is stripped and repaired, the headworks and drainage rebuilt, then the water disinfected and tested before the point goes back into use. Labour comes from the c


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.

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.

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
