Bachelor Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject African Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,0, Malardalen University (School of Business), language: English, abstract: This bachelor thesis is based on a field study performed in the rural village Maciene in Mozambique. The village is situated in the Gaza province, in the southern part of the country. Most of the people in the village are peasant farmers, but they also live from cattle breeding and small-scale fishing. The village is situated in the Lebombo diocese within the Anglican Church. The Swedish church diocese in Vasteras and the Swedish Mission Council are since many years supporting a development project in the village that is called The Maciene Vision. Since 2002 has Malardalen University been part of the project, and students at the programme Economy for sustainable development and the Public health programme have been given the opportunity to perform field studies in Maciene.
