Ankizy Gasy Foundation
Ankizy Gasy ~ Children of Madagascar Foundation is a non-profit organization aiming to enable
the education of children in Madagascar.
The foundation was originally set up by three Polish volunteers and since July 2014 has also been an officially recognized NGO in the Republic of Madagascar
(registered in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with a number No
2014-182- AE/SG/DGCD/DIR/SCD/00. AUN.) The charity was
created in order to help children in need in the Republic of
Madagascar; poor, bare-footed but always smiling and ready to
learn! Our main aim is to raise funds to enable Malagasy children
to learn in a school and provide them with at least one meal a
day.
Madagascar is
fourth biggest island in the world, located on Indian Ocean. It
enchants with its beauty but still it is one of the poorest
regions of the world. The poverty is present everywhere and
especially in the villages and in the forests where there is a
lack of potable (safe) drinking water, electricity, roads or schools. The island
is visited by cyclones every single year, causing severe damages
to houses, fields and roads etc. 90% of the population have to
survive for about 60p or less per day. For the last
several years about 60% of the country population has remained
with no access to any education. Among those who would be lucky to
start schooling only one in five will get to secondary school
level and complete it with an A-level.
We are looking for
volunteers who are ready to work with us in one of our schools in
Madagascar. All year round volunteers may carry out English or
French language courses at different levels at school or simple
language plays in a nursery.
During school
holidays we organize different activities such as art and crafts
lessons or sport. Most of our children have the possibility to
play only at school, as there isn't even a single toy in their
homes! We also work in nurseries and clinics as well as hosting
volunteers to help in the school canteens, renovate schools and
work in the garden.
