Foko: (Pronounced Foo-Koo, meaning “My heart”, or “Tribe”, in Malagasy). This project takes all the work of Azafady and concentrates it in one place, one micro-environment. For £100,000 we can bring lasting change to over 30,000 dwellers of remote villages through health, conservation, sustainable livelihoods and community development initiatives.

Situation
For £100,000 we can bring lasting change to over 30,000 dwellers of remote villages, providing clean water, schools, latrines in public places and in homes, thriving vegetable gardens, bee hives full of honey, a tree nursery full of healthy young seedlings, a community meeting place, a covered market, a women’s training centre, vital tools and a community health post for every hamlet, creating positive livelihood outcomes for generations to come. We will accompany the Foko-nolona (the people) through the various phases of the project, beginning with community-based analysis of their problems, through the negotiation of the community contribution element (for proper sense of ownership we know that communities must participate in every part of the project and must contribute to the work) and to the end of the construction phase. After construction, the training and implementation phases begin, during which Azafady maintains a presence and partnership with the community for a minimum of two years, working through problems and ensuring that sustainability issues are solved.
