By supporting Education for Life, you can make your gift go six times further! It will be matched by The Big Give, then tripled by The Adsum Foundation. Reaching our target will offer 1500 children in six remote Malagasy communities the chance of a life-changing education and a route out of poverty.

Situation
In Madagascar, children dream of the chance to get an education. But for most the obstacles are too great. Remote rural schools lack everything from classrooms, water and toilets to teachers and books. The children themselves are often too hungry or sick to study and the parents can barely afford the fees. School enrolment is as low as 55 percent in some areas. Of every 100 children who start primary school only 33 make it to secondary school.
Solution
MfM aims to bring hope and prosperity to Madagascar’s forgotten children through 'Education for Life', an integrated programme for schools, which tackles key obstacles to educational access and attainment in rural areas. We work with communities to provide: classrooms, water, toilets, books, teacher training, environmental education, kitchen gardens, school canteens, solar power, adult literacy and income generating opportunities for parents, so that all children can access a decent education.
