Project Needs and Beneficiaries

They have no marketable skills or secure income. 3600 young people from Ankazomanga (an urban slum) and Carion (a rural community) will take part in life skills development workshops. 500 of those young people who have applied will be selected for the Vocational Skills Training.

Activities

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Life skills will manage risky behaviours to reduce the distress & depair associated with extreme poverty. Those trained in a vocational skill will become economically empowered to look after their families and communities.

Project Message

Madagascar is desperately poor despite its image as a tourist destination. This is a key project endorsed by the Ministry of Labour in Madagascar. We hope that you'll support these young people.
- Mickella Lewis, Programme Funding Manager
