Sisters of the Good Shepherd (SoGS)
The Fihavanana Mahamasina centre, run by the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, serves children from disadvantaged neighbourhoods of Antananarivo, many of whom live on the street. Some have dropped out of school or never been to school, while many adolescent girls have had to drop out of school and are left destitute.
The centre provides them complete support, including schooling, snacks and lunches, school materials and basic health care, including dental care, for children aged 5-13. This is provided for one year.
It provides girls aged 14-18 with two-year vocational training, and/or their reintegration into the education system.
The centre serves roughly 150 children and young girls each year.
