As we have noted before, we do not receive money from the US or any other government, and so our programmes are not, at present, threatened by the decisions of those governments.<\/h4>\nBut we are <\/em>affected.<\/h4>\nFirst, because any cut to any organisation working in Madagascar \u2013 including cuts to US funding to the Malagasy government \u2013 impacts every organisation and what they can do, and so second, because Malagasy men, women and children are cast into even deeper challenges, and have even greater need of the opportunities they deserve and we can provide.<\/h4>\nBecause Madagascar is the world\u2019s fourth-poorest country.<\/h4>\nMore than one million of its people are in a situation of hunger so bad that only outright famine is worse. Fifty per cent of Malagasy children suffer stunting due to malnutrition, one in ten do not reach their tenth birthday, and four in ten never complete primary school due to hunger, illness and other challenges directly-related to poverty.<\/h4>\nAnd in their desperation to grow more food \u2013 and in the country\u2019s desperation to make more money than trade, the rainforest is being felled at such a rate that it will not exist at all in 40 years. This, again, will impact every person \u2013 every living thing \u2013 on the planet, sparking climate catastrophe and human upheaval on scales never before seen.<\/h4>\nAt the precise moment at which we can and should be doing more<\/em>, we are doing less.<\/h4>\nAnd yet we know how<\/em> to do this.

First, because any cut to any organisation working in Madagascar \u2013 including cuts to US funding to the Malagasy government \u2013 impacts every organisation and what they can do, and so second, because Malagasy men, women and children are cast into even deeper challenges, and have even greater need of the opportunities they deserve and we can provide.<\/h4>\nBecause Madagascar is the world\u2019s fourth-poorest country.<\/h4>\nMore than one million of its people are in a situation of hunger so bad that only outright famine is worse. Fifty per cent of Malagasy children suffer stunting due to malnutrition, one in ten do not reach their tenth birthday, and four in ten never complete primary school due to hunger, illness and other challenges directly-related to poverty.<\/h4>\nAnd in their desperation to grow more food \u2013 and in the country\u2019s desperation to make more money than trade, the rainforest is being felled at such a rate that it will not exist at all in 40 years. This, again, will impact every person \u2013 every living thing \u2013 on the planet, sparking climate catastrophe and human upheaval on scales never before seen.<\/h4>\nAt the precise moment at which we can and should be doing more<\/em>, we are doing less.<\/h4>\nAnd yet we know how<\/em> to do this. We are doing it in rural communities, working with Malagasy people to help them lift themselves from poverty and protect and expand their local environment.<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
But we need help. It is not just that we cannot and should not be doing this alone, but also that we cannot and should not do it without significantly more money and support.<\/h4>\nThis is not an outright funding request \u2013 though anything you can donate<\/a> will<\/em> be used by us to extremely good effect \u2013 but instead it\u2019s a call for support.<\/h4>\nHelp us to spread the word, to develop new ways of working, and of collaborating. Help us to find sources of funding so we can not just continue, but expand to meet the enormous need we all know is there.<\/h4>\nPlease share this post, and let us know if you see any opportunities. Contact your community leaders, your friends, family, and your elected representatives, and let them know what is happening.<\/h4>\nThe world must not turn its back on Madagascar and its people.
