Together with Obra de Maria: A Journey of Hope and Nourishment for All


At Semeadores de Maratane, our mission is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves access to basic necessities, regardless of where they are in the world. As we continue our efforts to support vulnerable communities in Africa, we are honored to be joined by the Portuguese charity association Obra de Maria.


Obra de Maria Africa

A Partnership with Purpose

Obra de Maria has a long-standing commitment to humanitarian aid, particularly in regions where poverty and hunger are most severe.

Their dedication to delivering food and essential supplies to those in need aligns perfectly with our goals at Semeadores de Maratane.

By joining forces, we can reach more people, provide more meals, and create lasting change in the communities we serve.

The Power of Collaboration

In many parts of Africa, food insecurity is a daily reality. This is especially true in areas affected by conflict, climate change, and economic instability.

Through our collaboration with Obra de Maria, we are able to target these regions more effectively, ensuring that our aid reaches those who need it most.

Recently, our teams worked together to deliver food packages to several villages in Mozambique, where the impact of drought has been devastating.

Thanks to Obra de Maria’s logistical expertise and deep connections within the local communities, we were able to distribute hundreds of meals in a matter of days.

The joy and relief on the faces of the families we met are testaments to the power of unity and shared purpose.

Beyond Food: Building Sustainable Futures

While providing immediate relief is crucial, both Semeadores de Maratane and Obra de Maria understand the importance of long-term solutions.

Our partnership goes beyond food distribution; it also focuses on sustainable development.

We are working together to implement agricultural programs that will empower local farmers, improve food security, and reduce dependence on external aid.

By educating communities on sustainable farming techniques and providing them with the necessary tools, we are planting the seeds for a future where these communities can thrive independently.

This holistic approach ensures that our efforts today will have a lasting impact on the generations to come.

A Message of Gratitude

We are proving that when people come together with a common goal, extraordinary things can happen.

We invite you to join us on this journey, whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word about our mission.

Collaborating with Obra de Maria to Change Lives

The changes in Semeadores de Maratane.

And after a lot of hard work and dedication, we will continue with the mission, helping families and children in Mozambique, Africa (Maratane Camp), and in Rodolfo Fernandes in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil.

To keep you informed of the events, here is a brief summary:

Missionary Sumaili moved to Malawi, East Africa, and we were left without a representative to assist us in the Maratane field.

As a result, the founder Marcelo considered ending the activities of Semeadores de Maratane in Africa and Brazil.

In conversation with him, I, “Maria de Fátima,” decided to take over the leadership of this mission, and with the support of the core team, all responsibilities of Semeadores de Maratane were transferred to me.

So, the first thing I needed to resolve was to find another missionary to take on the missions in Africa.

I contacted Ironi Spuldaro’s wife, Cléia, and Ironi recommended Missionary Josiene from Obra de Maria, who promptly agreed to help us find a representative in the Maratane field.

She visited the refugee camp in Maratane and was warmly received at São Francisco Xavier Parish in Nampula by Father Pinho, who accepted our mission with open arms.

Today, we continue with the initial goal of providing food to families and conducting a monthly feeding project for the refugee camp children.

However, we have plans, and for them to come to fruition, we need to continue relying on the support of our donors and also seek more donations to help with the existing projects of Obra de Maria and São Francisco Xavier Parish, which include:

  • Providing school meals at the school in Dombi and at the Obra de Maria boarding school.
  • Distributing porridge to malnourished children at the refugee camp hospital in Maratane.

First and foremost, thanks to God, and to all of you who help us: godparents, donors, and the core team of Semeadores de Maratane, Sister Josiene, Shirnenio from Obra de Maria, and Father Pinho. Thank you very much.

A special thanks to Obra de Maria in Portugal and Mozambique, to its founders, Dona Salomé and Gilberto, and also to Cléia and Ironi Spuldaro from Obra Há poder de Deus.

On behalf of the entire Semeadores de Maratane team, Thank you very much to everyone. May God and Our Lady bless you.

Maria de Fátima

Gratitude!
