A dedicated micro credit fund for rural Madagascar

We hope you had a good holiday season.

Vegetable gardens to grow things they can eat have become a big success (again) in 2022. Since more and more people start growing vegetables, often just next to their house (and close to their kitchen) it has started a competition between the villages of who has the most beautiful gardens. The promise of an award might contribute to this effort. Our new on-site coordinator (or ‘controller’ as he is called in French) who lives in the village has visited all 4 villages and their gardens. Based on what he saw, the team has chosen the 4 candidates that will get the award during Santa’s visit before Christmas. He sent us 4 pictures of the award winning gardens

• 1st Photo: Fiadanana: Maurice, who is the son of Dadaleva, our traditional healer whose support made our work possible in the first place
• 2nd photo: Madame Simone in Tsaramandroso. She has a family garden
• 3rd photo: Madame Felana in Fiarenana. Family Garden
• 4th photo: Madame Fitiavana in Analakely, with a huge vegetable garden. She is a teacher at the community’s primary school

And yes, there are many well crafted apples for donations this time of the year. Due dilligence requires us to chime in. If you are in the fortunate position to think about donations for 2022 we hope you might consider Zahana at this end of year.
 
Happy New Year!
