President Chapo met with the National Youth Council yesterday to discuss housing, jobs, and money for young business owners. He promised to keep helping young people because they make up over 60% of Mozambicans. The Phoenix Housing Project stands out because it has already started with machines working at the site. This plan lets young people buy affordable homes with 25-year payment plans. The project has backing from a Hong Kong company that did similar work in Angola.
Chapo also talked about FIDEL, a special fund where 60% of cash goes straight to young entrepreneurs. This helps them avoid tough bank rules that demand stuff young people just don't have. He mentioned five billion dollars coming from the US Export-Import Bank for gas projects, which should create around 40,000 jobs. The government gave 5,000 computers to college students who needed them. They also launched "Internet for All" to connect schools across the country.
Sónia Bila from the Youth Council said young people feel happy about these programs. She thanked Chapo for listening to what youth want—homes, jobs, and families—and praised his peace talks with political parties. The meeting showed how youth matters in building a better Mozambique.
