The Sustainable Development Goals
There are only 8 years left to reach the 2030 SDG's deadline, action is desperately needed without any delay, the desert is fast moving and poverty is just its direct consequence. We have focused on 7 of the 17 SDGs with an emphasis on SDG4.
SDG4 : Quality Education
Education For Madagascar - is committed to the Sustainable Development Goals 4 as a priority which outlines the Right of all children to a "Quality Education" and the urgent need to train many more educators to help achieve this Right, to find innovative and effective means of providing education to those children who are least likely to access it.
Six Educational projects are currently being implemented to achieve this objective.
SDG 2: Zero hunger
Our organisation is involved in providing solutions to the famine. Climate change and the absence of rain for several years in a row are the root causes of the desertification of the land that affects thousands of people in the south of Madagascar and even inland.
The initial objectives of Education For Madagascar are to organise educational projects that have a long-term impact in terms of pedagogical investment. Following this humanitarian disaster, we have made an exception to help and bring a minimum of support to the situation in the South, which rather requires emergency relief from an unprecedented disaster.
SDG5 : Gender Equality
Women's rights in rural Madagascar are not taken for granted, but we do not give up. The 8th of March is not a day of celebration, it is a day of awareness: we advocate to help the vulnerable victims.
The School For Women is organised once a month, it's an opprotunity to develop many topics related to empower girls and women, to care for their health and wellbng and the personal development of mothers, which is the very basis for the balance of the family and the child.
SDG3: Good health and Wellbeing
Common diseases such as tooth decay, lice, untreated skin diseases are the source of more serious pathology; our focus is on prevention and medical analysis and prevention to provide care at the onset of the disease.
Prevention is our watchword, with the help of two doctors and two nurses working for Tomady Health Center.
SDG13 : Climate Action
Environmental education is our daily routine to pass on to young and old alike. Silva is the name of the mangrove and tree planting projects with a follow-up. The permaculture project to revive the soil are our daily actions to strive to slow down global warming.
SDG6 : Clean Water and Sanitation
We are experimenting the use of dry toilets to save water, to make compost, manage waste responsibly and to improve sanitation.
Two rain tanks are built so far to manage drinking water supply.
SDG1 : No Poverty
Most of Malagasy people live in extreme poverty today, struggling to fulfil the most basic needs like health, education, and access to water and sanitation, to name a few. Their revenues are less than 1,9 USD a day.
Even those who work, a decent living is not guarantee. The starting point is the lack of education in all sorts of form, which has an impact on the health, the environment, the community, the country and the planet.
