SMALL STEPS FOR AFRICA

We work for the advancement of the education and health of young people in Madagascar, that will enable them to gain skills leading to employment opportunities. We raise funds through child sponsorship programmes and deliver support through local partners. Projects could include pre and post school clubs, canteen programmes, school libraries, sanitation, and medical care.

Financial issues to consider:
