OUR PROJECTS

SSFA works in partnership with three local organisations in Madagascar - Ankizy Gasy, Akany Avoko Faravohitra and Akany Avoko Ambohidratimo - to deliver our education and health projects.

Our programmes include:

Child sponsorship: directly supporting an individual child through one of our three programmes. This starts from £15/month (£175/year) and covers school fees, two hot meals a day, uniform and books. You receive regular updates on the child's progress, and have the chance to send small cards and gifts.

Regular giving: donating a monthly or yearly amount of your choice to one of our four funds, each concentrating on a particular area of impact.
- Healthcare fund: supporting the cost of doctors/hospital appointments for the young people in our programme, supporting the wages of a full-time nurse working in the community of Ambohidratimo, covering the cost of medicines, emergency operations and other medical supplies.
- Education fund: supporting young people in our programme with extra classes, extra school materials, vocational training, summer language programmes and more.
- Social protection fund: supports families with emergency food parcels and rent support, helps families in precarious situations to move to more stable accommodation, and provides grants to help adults start small businesses.
- The Bike Project: helps teenagers and young adults access education, work and healthcare, via the loan of a bike.
