Acting Today for Every Malagasy Child

Respecting children’s rights means more than words — it means taking action every day. Every Malagasy child deserves the chance to grow up in a safe, loving family where they can feel protected, valued, and supported. Ensuring these rights requires commitment, compassion, and collective responsibility.

We are honoured to dedicate our work to defending these rights and strengthening the families and community structures that protect children. By supporting those around them and building safer environments, we help create a world where every child in Madagascar can grow, thrive, and look to the future with hope. 🌱

TAIZA: A Tradition of Solidarity and Care

We firmly believe that any form of development must respect a country’s culture. In Madagascar, TAIZA is one of the oldest and most culturally appropriate ways of protecting children deprived of parental care.

TAIZA is a way of placing children deprived of parental care with a family who will give their love and know-how to help a child. This practice is proof of what the fundamental Malagasy values are: FIHAVANANA, FIRAISAN KINA Malagasy. In other words: solidarity and mutual support. 🤝
