Story
I am fundraising to support the Martin James Foundation's work with their partner FAMadagascar. During the Covid-19 lockdown, the Government relocated homeless people in Madagascar's capital city to a shelter. With MJF's support, FAM was able to help several pregnant in the shelter move to safer accommodations close to a maternity hospital. The project has already successfully prevented children from being separated from their families and entering orphanages. But with your help, we can do more!All money raised through this campaign will enable FAM to support these mothers and their families reintegrate back into the community after being homeless.FAM's cofounder said, "I find it hard to think of anything more tragic and unjust in this world than a child being separated from a birth family due to poverty. Many of our families seriously considered abandoning their children to an orphanage at some point. It is a privilege to be involved in preventing this in Madagascar".
To do this the FosterTalk Team will be completing 100 mini challenges throughout the month, challenges include:
Acts of kindness
Donating clothes to charity
Giving up alcohol

10 mile bike ride
Donating food to those in need
And many more.... be sure to watch our socials to see how we get on with the tasks!
