Throughout the month of October, our partners in Mozambique organized a series of community outreach activities in the KaMavota neighbourhood of Maputo as part of the Colours to Save Hearts<\/a> project. The goal of these activities was to raise awareness of rheumatic heart disease (RHD)<\/a> among community leaders and support educational activities in the local school. Activities also focused on the prevention and treatment<\/a> of RHD in the community<\/a>, including in homes, markets, playgrounds and public bus stations. In total, 350 community leaders participated in the activities and gave their support for the project.<\/p>\n
