Education for Life

 

 

Our Vision at Money for Madagascar (MfM), we believe that education is the key to unlocking a brighter future for Madagascar’s children. Our Education for Life programme is dedicated to giving children and young adults the skills, knowledge, and opportunities they need to break poverty and build successful, fulfilling lives. 

Holistic Education Support  

Education in Madagascar faces many challenges, from underfunded schools to a lack of resources and trained teachers. MfM addresses these issues by investing in both formal and non-formal education, ensuring that all children have access to quality learning experiences. We support everything from primary education to vocational training, focusing on the individual needs of each student. By providing school supplies, scholarships, and training for teachers, we help create a nurturing learning environment where children can thrive.

• 562 vulnerable children and young people provided with care services. 

• 90 schools improved with infrastructure, equipment, education, teacher training, parental literacy and environmental education and practices. 

• 4,000 children received daily school lunches, and a further 5,000 children received weekly school meals. 

• Established school canteens, kitchen gardens, and wash facilities at 20 schools. 

• Improved exam pass rates by 20% and reduced absenteeism from 13% to 3%. 

Inclusive Education

We are committed to inclusivity, ensuring that vulnerable and marginalized children are not left behind. This includes children from impoverished backgrounds and girls who often face additional barriers to education. Our projects work to remove these obstacles, promoting equality and ensuring that every child has the chance to succeed. 

Life Skills and Vocational Training

In addition to formal education, we recognize the importance of life skills and vocational training. These programs equip young people with practical skills that prepare them for employment and independent living. From agriculture to hospitality, our vocational training centres offer a range of courses designed to match the needs of the local economy, providing students with the tools they need to build a sustainable future. 

Community Engagement and Support Through Education for Life 

Education is a community effort, and MfM works closely with local communities to support and enhance educational opportunities. We engage parents, teachers, and community leaders in our projects, ensuring that education is valued and supported at every level. By fostering a culture of learning, we help build stronger, more resilient communities.
