WOMEN OF MANJAKARAY

Knowledge is power. We're on a mission to break the dangerous misconceptions surrounding periods in Madagascar. In a recent educational campaign, we had the opportunity to inform and empower a group of women in Manjakaray, a low income area of Antananarivo. With the help of a selfless local woman who offered her home for the gathering, we were able to spread awareness about the risks associated with period misconceptions. We refuse to let these misconceptions continue to harm women and their health.

AKANY AVOKO FARAVOHITRA
Mar 2023
Campaign at Anaky Avoko Faravohitra. We covered important topics such as puberty, overcoming addictions, and STIs. We recognize that many of these girls aged 11 to 18 are victims of physical or psychological abuse, or are minors in conflict with the law. That's why it's crucial to provide them with the necessary tools to overcome challenges. Akany Avoko Faravohitra does an amazing job providing these girls with a safe environment, including clean clothes, 3 nutritious meals a day, and health care. We hope that the knowledge we shared will help them in their personal lives, and that they feel empowered to make healthy decisions.

It was humbling to see how engaged and curious the children were, asking lots of questions and expressing their eagerness for us to come again. We're honored to have made a difference in their lives and we hope to continue doing so. Thank you to Akany Avoko Bevalala for allowing us to make an impact in the community.

Feb 2023
Prevention is key, and we're thrilled to have taken a step forward in promoting safer sexual practices at the Fokontany Ampefiloha Ambodirano! Our charity, with the help of our collaborators at TMF, delivered an educational campaign on STI prevention and treatment to a group of low-income women ranging from 20 to 65 years old - some belonging to the sex work community. With the generous donations we received, we were able to distribute free condoms in partnership with the fokontany. Condoms remain too expensive in Madagascar, and we're honored to have played a small part in keeping the population safe. Thank you to our amazing partners at TMF, and to the dedicated women who joined us on this journey. Together, we can make a difference in the world!
