Madagascar Famine Relief Fund

Thank you for your generous gift to the Madagascar Famine Relief Fund. Your donation continues to make a difference by ensuring Malagasies across the south receive nourishing food and life-saving health care as they continue to face a climate-induced famine.

This spring, GlobalGiving made two grants to trusted nonprofit partners working with the most impacted of these communities. Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported: 

• Ny Tanintsika, a small Malagasy-led nonprofit, provided food and services at a canteen for the Tsirangtoe primary school. About 400 students rely on the canteen for daily meals. Food distributions will continue throughout the summer thanks to the connections fostered between the school, impacted families, and Ny Tanintsika. The nonprofit also funded a geophysical study in the most food-insecure region to determine where and how to build wells to provide safe drinking water for local communities.   

• Plateforme HINA, a network of more than 50 Malagasy civil society groups, is using funds to launch a major health project in areas where food insecurity has worsened malnutrition. This project targets acute child and maternal malnutrition and prenatal health. Other organizations in the network with expertise in malnutrition and health programs are also contributing to the project.

Your support of the Madagascar Famine Relief Fund powers these community-led responses, and it means people in southern Madagascar get the critical resources they need in the most challenging times. Thank you again for your generosity.

With gratitude,
