Madagascar is an island nation off the coast of East Africa. With a population of over 28 million people, Madagascar has been severely affected by climate change, with droughts leaving people facing acute hunger and malnutrition.
We’re supporting children with disabilities to go to school.
Over the last 40 years, we have been working alongside local partners and charities in Madagascar to deliver inclusive education programmes, so that children with disabilities are including in school, as well as saving-sight and emergency response work.
