From strength to strength

For more than two decades, Project Madagascar has committed to shifting the Malagasy people from poverty to hope through education.

Currently rated as the world’s 9th poorest country by Global Finance Magazine, one of the country’s greatest needs is education.

Children often drop out of school at early ages to help their families, causing them to fall behind in their studies. With the lack of public-school infrastructure adding to the problem, this means the average level of education in rural and remote areas of Madagascar is Grade 4.

We saw the need and we responded.

Over the last 23 years, in collaboration with 45 local Malagasy staff and leadership, two Community and Learning Centres (CLCs) have been constructed and established in the capital, Antananarivo, with over 700 enrolled students from Kindergarten to Grade 12.
