Community

Our Community Development Program

The foundation of our work lies in the hands that cultivate, care for, and transform.

Olimax believes that true development happens when rural women and families are placed at the center of change. In Inhambane, we work side-by-side with local communities, recognizing and valuing their knowledge, strength, and dedication.

Education and continuing training

With a focus on sustainable practices, quality, and community leadership.

Respect for the rhythms of rural life and local traditions

Creating a work model that adapts to the realities of each community.

Women's empowerment:

We train and empower women to lead production processes, nursery management, harvesting, and coconut processing.

Direct cooperation with local producers and farmers

To ensure a fair and supportive production chain.

Income generation and economic autonomy

Promoting financial inclusion and security for families.

Transformation with deep roots

Olimax oil carries the work, wisdom, and dream of a Mozambican woman.
With them, we cultivate more than coconut – we cultivate dignity, equality, and a future.
