Nampula, Mozambique – Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA) in Mozambique has invested nearly MZN 8 million in two infrastructure projects that are providing access to safe water for communities near its bottling plants in Nampula and Matola-Gare. 

In Nampula, CCBA and water entity Águas da Região Norte (ADRN) have extended the water network in the Napipine-Nicuta neighbourhood. The second project provides water to Block 13 in Matola-Gare where CCBA’s plant is located. The systems provide convenient access to potable water for the community. 

“Water is essential to life, our beverages, and the communities we serve. We aim to promote water stewardship within our business to increase water use efficiency and treat and return safe water to communities,” said Neyde Pires, Public Affairs, Communication and Sustainability Director at CCBA in Mozambique. 

“Together with partners, the Coca-Cola system invests in water initiatives that benefit nature and communities. Projects we support aim to build long-term resilience and improve water security in local communities,” Pires concluded. 

These efforts are in line with a broader effort by The Coca-Cola Company in Africa and its partners.
