Ankizy Gasy provides a range of support services for students in school and beyond school, including medical care, canteens, homework clubs, careers services and vocational courses. - La Source Special Needs School
MfM supported La Source for 20 years. Since the directors retired, MfM supporters set up a voluntary pension fund to make an annual gift to the Directors as a gesture of gratitude and to help them in their retirement. - SAF Medical Centre
A grant from UWI enabled MfM to support SAF in setting up an ultrasound service at the SAF medical unit in the capital’s centre. The grant included the purchase of ultrasound equipment and training of medical professionals. 2019- 2022: Saffifa Social-Work Centres For many years, MfM supported several social centres under the church umbrella of SAFFIFA. Managed by Pr Helivao, these centres helped vulnerable and needy children in the capital city: Isotry Centre, Gilpin Centre, and Akanin-Zazavavy Girls Centre from 2000- 2022. - Sisters of the Good Shepherd
At the Centre Fihavanana, MfM has supported vulnerable children for decades, enabling them to access education, food, and medical care. In addition to daily classes and canteens, wider social work services with families and state services build pathways for children and teenagers to get back into mainstream education or vocational training. - Topaza FJKM Children’s Centre
MfM started supporting this Children’s Centre through a 3-year grant from the UWI (Union of Welsh Independents). Topaza continues to receive support from MfM through our daily school feeding programme, funded by Mary’s Meals, and through wider benefits of training and support provided by our Vulnerable Children’s Programme.
Resilient Forest and Livelihoods Program Partners:
Through education, training and practical support, we enable farmers and forest dwellers to provide for their families whilst protecting and restoring their fragile environment. Urgent attention is now focused on reforestation, sustainable food security and resilience to climate change.
The programme supports the following partners and projects:
- Ivato Theological College
- Mitsinjo Forest
Training of pastors to become rural development technicians. Technical training in the cultivation of vegetables, trees and fruit trees. Theological students at the College. (3-year project funded by UWI 2019-2023. Currently exploring the potential for a new project.) Working with Association Mitsinjo to restore indigenous forests and develop livelihoods in the Andasibe-Mantadia area.
- SAF – Betampona
A team of agricultural and development officers work with vulnerable farmers to develop sustainable livelihoods to improve forest communities’ food security, education and health. Investment in sustainable development and environmental education reduces the destruction/exploitation of the Betampona Special Reserve, thus contributing to its conservation.

Youth for Lemurs Project
DEFRA’s Darwin Initiative funds this project and enables youths to lead lemur conservation in eastern Madagascar. It aims to equip 200 youths with the knowledge, skills, and experience to increase yields through sustainable farming.

Youths will share their community knowledge, skills, and experience and engage members in lemur conservation stewardship.
