In the heart of Nhamassonge, where the main road runs steadily towards the historic Fortress of Massangano, a dream is taking shape for two young electricians: João and Ana. At the far end of the market stalls stands a small kiosk, still lacking all the necessary materials, yet already full of purpose. It is there that 24-year-old João Augusto Toeza is beginning to shape his future. 
João has clear ideas — as clear as light itself — which perhaps explains his choice of the electrical sector. After completing a course in installation electrical work at IFPELAC in the city of Chimoio, delivered under the DELPAZ programme in coordination with district authorities to strengthen vocational training and local development, he returned with a new outlook. He came back not only with enhanced technical skills, but also with a broader vision of his future and the contribution he can make to his community. 
He did not return alone. By his side is 24-year-old Ana Assane Saíss, also a fellow trainee and now his business partner. Together, they dream big, even though resources are still scarce. The kiosk has already been built, aligned with the others in the market. All that is missing is the sign that will announce to the world: “Light of Nhamassonge – electrical installations and supplies”.
But not everything is straightforward. In Nhamassonge, electrical materials are not available locally. Every wire, every switch, every light bulb has to come from Guro. “It is a problem,” João says, with the calm of someone who has already learned not to give up in the face of difficulties. Money is also in short supply, and every metical counts. Even so, they move forward step by step.
While the business has yet to fully take shape, João and Ana continue working. They carry out installations in the surrounding area — simple but essential services. For 500 meticais, they bring light to homes, while clients provide the materials. It is little, but it is a start. 
The community already recognises the value of the young electrician. The administrative post chief, Marta João Dafrene, does not hide her satisfaction: before, any fault meant waiting for someone to come from Guro. Now João sorts it out. And he does it well.
Although brief, the training course brought more than technical knowledge. For many young people in Nhamassonge, it was the first time they had left their home area — their first coach journey to Chimoio. An experience that broadened horizons and showed that the world is larger — and full of possibilities.
And there, between dreams and challenges, is also little Eduarda, sleeping peacefully on her mother’s back, protected by a capulana. Perhaps without knowing it, she is already part of this story of courage and building.
João smiles when he talks about the future. “When everything is ready, with the materials and the sign in place, we will send a photograph.” It is not just a promise — it is a certainty.
