In the previous RFL post, we met Joséphine, a shop-owner and farmer in the PK7 village in Moramanga, part of the Moramanga district in Madagascar’s Toamasina province. In that post we learnt about how Joséphine changed her and her family’s life by taking part in savings and loans projects run by Money for Madagascar and our Malagasy partner Mitsinjo…
Despite working two jobs, Joséphine Rasoanantenaina was only able to earn half the money she and her family required to cover their daily needs.

The theme of this year’s recognition is ‘Celebrating Forests and Food’, a matter especially close to…
A study suggests that an agro-forestry project in Panama collects less carbon than it had originally hoped to. Though it should not be the responsibility of people – like those of Panama and Madagascar – who live in carbon sinks to collect carbon for the rest of the world, MfM and Malagasy people are doing so, even as they…
