Who We Are

 

 

The AIC Madagascar volunteers respond to the needs of more than 6000 people suffering from poverty, violence and exclusion, mostly women, children, and families. Their activities are concentrated on registering births, schooling, nutrition and the education of disadvantaged children, as well as training, literacy classes, health, income-generating activities and empowering mothers who are often widows or abandoned. Most of these beneficiaries live in poverty and do not enjoy any rights. We encourage them through development and emancipation projects. These projects, which respect their habits and customs, help them to solve their biggest problems. AIC projects have a strong impact on sustainable community development as well, especially through collaboration with national and international programs e.g. to fight malnutrition among infants, malaria, AIDS/HIV and tuberculosis, vaccination programs, programs for breastfeeding mothers and the protection of natural resources.
