Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the world. 75% of it’s population live below the poverty line with chronic malnutrition affecting half of all children under 5.

With my roots in Madagascar I felt I needed to help in whatever way I could.

Born of this was our mission to raise money to help Orphanages and Schools in Madagascar, all of which will be for the children’s use and not to pay salaries and admin costs associated with larger charities.

I am currently in Madagascar and have been contacting various schools and Orphanages. With the money we have raised so far, my family and I have bought and distributed essential items such as food, clothing, books, toys and other items they have a need for, rather than donating the money directly to them.

To raise money to support the charity over the next 2 months.
