Madagascar School Project

Welcome to the Madagascar School Project

Give a child a pencil and paper, and immediately you turn on the imagination systems in that young mind. The pencil is the catalyst for thought, creativity and expression. It is the first communication tool that lets young people express themselves. And they will. This, then, is the first step. Schools, teachers, and a formal education with a caring and loving spirit is needed.

The Challenge for The Madagascar School Project is to provide this education for children who have no means of access to good schools. They literally have no pencils. Our goal is to provide the pencils, provide the school, the teachers and all the staff and supplies needed to operate the school including free lunches for the children.

Based 2 hours north of Madagascar's capital city of Antananarivo, the Madagascar School Project welcomed its first students in the fall of 2008.

Funded completely through donations, the two-classroom Sekoly Lova Soa, which means a school that transmits to children what is needed to make a positive change in the world, is built on a parcel of land donated by a local Anglican parish and is open free of charge to all students.

In an effort to combat childhood malnourishment in the area, the school also has a program to feed the children a noon meal each day. Gardens cared for by the parents provide the meals fresh vegetables.

The Madagascar School Project Committee is mandated to continue fund raising to enable us to pay for teachers, supplies and the upkeep of the school.
