Caia is a town on the south bank of the Zambezi River in Sofala Province. It is a relatively small place with few modern facilities beyond a petrol station and a bank. An escalating HIV and AIDS epidemic in Caia and the surrounding communities has drawn national and foreign aid, including a Canadian foundation, the Caia Connection. Wikipedia gives coordinates for Caia that fall at about 17.83 degrees south and 35.33 degrees east. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model reads about 47 metres above sea level at that point. Like the rest of Mozambique, Caia keeps Central Africa Time, which is two hours ahead of UTC all year.
