Our charity recently delivered an educational campaign on alcohol, tobacco, and drugs - highlighting the harms they can cause to health and the treatment options available to combat addiction. We also spoke about STI prevention and treatment to 28 young women between 15 and 20 years old - some of whom are orphans or victims of sexual violence, an issue that unfortunately remains prevalent in Madagascar. It was humbling to see how positive and curious the participants were to learn more. We're grateful to Akany Avoko Ambohidratrimo for their incredible work supporting these women every day. With education, we can make a difference!

Prevention is key, and we're thrilled to have taken a step forward in promoting safer sexual practices at the Fokontany Ampefiloha Ambodirano! Our charity, with the help of our collaborators at TMF, delivered an educational campaign on STI prevention and treatment to a group of low-income women ranging from 20 to 65 years old - some belonging to the sex work community. With the generous donations we received, we were able to distribute free condoms in partnership with the fokontany. Condoms remain too expensive in Madagascar, and we're honored to have played a small part in keeping the population safe. Thank you to our amazing partners at TMF, and to the dedicated women who joined us on this journey. Together, we can make a difference in the world!

MISSION VIDAH & COMPASSION

Jan 2023

Knowledge is power, and we're honored to have empowered the women of very-low income areas with information that will improve their health and wellbeing! Our charity delivered an educational campaign on puberty changes, vaccinations in adolescence, and STI prevention and treatment to 75 dedicated attendees at Mission Vidah in collaboration with Compassion Madagascar. Despite the challenging journey they faced to get here - navigating damaged roads and broken bridges due to the recent cyclone - their eagerness to learn was unwavering. We want to thank the amazing collaborators at Compassion Madagascar and the dedicated men and women who made this possible. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those who need it most!
