Le refuge comes back to life
After casualties due to typhoon Gezani in Tamatave, we have begged for your help to rebuild the Refuge!
Our infrastructures having been 95% damaged, roofs blown up, some walls had collapsed!
we were left stunned and felt deeply deprived
Deeply from our heart, we thank our donators, who, without hesitation, answered our call and helped us in the rebuilding process!
Light is back
Light and water are back with the help of the Club41 members whom we thank for their implication
In homes, schools and workplaces, water is synonymous with health, dignity, productivity!

Woofers
This year, we welcome 2 young girls from Purpan University.
Thris mission is to lead a survey on analyzing the agricultural and envitonmental challenges of the Refuge.
The fundamental principle of this mission is sharing experience :
1/ A program is defined prior to their departure
2/ They commit on a list of tasks to be achieved in respect with the 4 Sustainable Development Targets of the Refuge
3/ Their stay is based on mutual help, the discovery of biologically based agriculture and experience sharing
4/ They commit on following the work plan and giving a premanent feed back!
Madagascar beeing a developping country, economic situation has been worsening during the last decade and the Refuge , created to help street kids is fully privately funded .
Consequently, those young students will , of course, not have the same level of comfort they have in their home countries, so their adaptability lies on their flexibility!
