Overview of the project

The big Island of Madagascar features amongst the most World’s most impacted countries in terms of Climate Change.

The State is getting more involved especially concerning school dinner. At the school cantine, the objective is to give at least one meal a day to pupils, all year round.

The initiator behind this project works to facilitate and empower inhabitants facing the use of natural resources (coming from soil, sun, wind, rain…. and to learn how to use it in the best way possible. The objective of this project is to create an awareness campaign dedicated to citizens, especially children and youth, based on respect and appropriate use of natural resources.
