Located 8 km away from the capital Maputo, in the Mahotas Urban District, this is a peri-urban Health Center initially designed to assist around 70 full and part time adults and children with mental health impairment. It is run by Christian Sisters, with limited number of them exposed, in the past, to Solar Hot Water Systems (in Europe). There is one full-time maintenance engineer with universal vocation (i.e., electricity, plumbing, some in- house machinery, etc.).

In one year, this installation gives a solar yield of 18.11 MWh and is responsible for the avoidance of 6264.45 kilograms of CO₂ emissions.
