A case study for secondary students about Anatericia, a young woman from Mozambique suffered the effects of poverty. Environmental changes made the village vulnerable to natural disasters, affecting their crops ad livelihoods. With the support of Caritas Australia and its partners, Anatercia’s family joined the Integrated Rural Development Program which improved Anatercia and her families health, education and quality of life, along with the outlook of her community for future generations. This case study is accompanied by a series of activities designed to promote deep thinking.
