The island of Madagascar is sinking more and more into extreme poverty. This mainly affects women, who are poorly equipped to cope, and their children.

The Miara association was founded by a team of particularly motivated volunteers, led by an enterprising president who devotes a lot of time on site. It aims to help these women by offering them vocational training, sewing to begin with because it has good potential outlets.

For this, a workshop is under construction (the work is progressing well) and the selection of young women candidates has begun. At first, 6 of them will be chosen, plus 6 others for a lighter formation.

This dynamic and above all very concrete program in relation to the immediate needs deserves to be supported.

Last news:

Summer 2023: construction of the workshop is now complete.

Already 13 young apprentice seamstresses are being trained here. Starting with the basics, this autumn they will be learning how to make alterations and dressmaking.

In addition, 10 underprivileged children are benefiting from an educational program. Intensive French classes will also be held 3 times a week. In addition, the schooling of a dozen underprivileged children has been taken care of.

A highly motivated teacher has been recruited for this ambitious program.
