Resumo: This dissertation, entitled The role of initiation rites in the yaawo community: case of the city of Lichinga-Mozambique has the aim: to analyze the social role of initiation rites in the yaawo community; to characterize the practice of initiation rites in this community in present times Of cultural flow; to differentiate male and female initiation related to practice and thematic and to describe the role of initiation rites in the preservation of the socio-cultural values of the region. Its execution has become possible through research developed within the community, involving initiates as witness, teachers and managers of the schools where these initiates seek their learning. The research with schools and its agents aimed to analyze the relationship level between the practice of initiation rites and school institutions. The findings showed that initiation rites have the role of reinforcing internal social cohesion among members of the community, disseminating among their participants the spirit of solidarity and awakening the sense of belonging. They also have the role of socialization between initiates and the community at large. They create moral guidelines and outline the community's rules of social conduct. Initiation in the yaawo context means the attainment of social majority. By initiation the individual passes from childhood to adulthood, thus becoming part of the active part of the life of his community and enjoying full rights. They also mean the highest moment of the exaltation of culture and community identity.
