Barra Resorts Infrastructure

Ngovene Bridge

In 2003, during the construction of Flamingo Bay Water Lodge, Barra Resorts constructed a 200 meter pedestrian bridge in the local village of Ngovene. The bridge was done in collaboration with the local community. The bridge crosses a tidal mangrove and swamp land shortening the distance to the local school and clinic for the community by over three kilometers. In the past many young children were unable to attend school due to the long distances needed to walk. It is now possible for people to get to the clinic all hours of the day in case of emergencies. The bridge was officially opened by his Excellency Inhambane Governor Aires Ally in November 2003.

Conguiana Clinic Water

Up to June 2004 the clinic had no running water. Barra Resorts then installed three water pumps in nearby wells , extended our pipelines to supply the clinic with a 24 hour supply of running water. The water system installed and maintained by Barra Resorts is the only running water system in Conguiana and there are plans to extend the system to another nearby school in the near future.

Barra Resorts in there continued support for the promotion of sports for the youth has supported various teams in different sports. We are proud sponsors of the local football team “a Luta Continua” and have supplied them with new sports equipment and assisted them with the construction of there stage used for music festivals which regularly held in the camp. We have also been part sponsors of the Inhambane schools provincial volley ball, football and basket ball teams. Barra Resorts recently hosted the 2005 youths inter-provincial sports weekend at Barra Lodge. Various sports including, football, beach volley ball, running, and horse riding were enjoyed.
