Overview
Mission
Our focus is to nourish the children of rural Madagascar. The program has four components: 1 school lunches during the lean season 2 access to sanitary facilities 3 training in nutrition and safe food handling and 4 the growers program. The school lunch program runs each year from February to May during the hunger season that coincides with their planting cycle. We run after the crops have been planted and communities have expended all their resources. Fresh water and sanitation access is ensured at each school by constructing wells near the cooking facilities. WASH-style training is given to children to ensure cleanly practices before eating. We provide extensive community training sessions in the months before each program begins covering food-borne illnesses sanitary techniques and leadership skills for local committee members. Finally we work with local growers to break the cycle of scarcity in local food markets.
What it reported doing in 2025
Fresh water access is ensured at each school by constructing wells near the cooking facilities. Toilets are constructed in a cost-sharing arrangement with each community. Hand washing stations are provided and WASH-style training is given to children to ensure cleanly practices before eating. We maintained the wells and improved the toilets at our 12 partner schools to maintain sanitation at the schools where our programs operate. Each partner school has one well located near the kitchen facility and 2 toilets for use by volunteers and students. Additionally we maintained over 70 locally constructed handwashing stations for use at each of our partner schools.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 90% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of total spending goes to programs.
