Today is the UN Human Rights Day. We are always happy to see progress being made for the betterment of all humanity.

Today is the UN International Volunteer Day for Economic and Social Development! We are always working towards the goal of improving socioeconomic development in some of the most remote regions of #Madagascar, so feel free to contact us here or on buff.ly/3L79jZu.

Happy National Lemur Day in #Madagascar!

Only 54.4% of the #Madagascar population has access to basic water services. Most people in rural regions fetch water from natural springs and rice paddies, which are usually polluted with dangerous bacteria and viruses. This is why water provision is one of our top priorities.

The Adsum-supported Agroforestry and Education for Life projects focus on introducing sustainable farming methods to school curriculum as well as community knowledge in rural #Madagascar, while also improving the people of Madagascar's livelihoods by providing alternative income.

We are always excited to share about our water well and school-building projects in rural #Madagascar, so please do not hesitate to visit our website at

It's been a busy past couple of weeks but just to update: Adsum is looking to get involved in adding solar energy to our projects in some of the most remote regions of #Madagascar. For more completed projects, check out our interactive project map: buff.ly/3L79jZu.

We are happy to share more photos of the Adult Literacy programme from our partner working on the ground to provide essential literacy and numeracy skills to improve people's livelihoods in some of the most remote areas of #Madagascar.

Tendresoa, married with seven children, makes "Tihy" (mats) on the market to support her family, while her husband works on a farm. Tendresoa would like to know how to write especially to be able to add words and phrases to her mats, so she attends the Adult Literacy programme.

Tsoroe, a mother of five from Antsakoamaro, walks about 1km to Agnalalava for the Adult Literacy class to improve her skills with accounting and writing. She has also joined the training programme two years ago and from this learning was able to acquire these laying hens.

We are happy to share some photos from our Adult Literacy Programme in Antaritarike in rural #Madagascar. We are very pleased with their progress!

We would like to thank Ryan's Cookie Box a thousand times for warmly welcoming us into their home. They have been supporting our work in rural #Madagascar for many years now and we can always look forward to their scrumptious scones! Thank you for all your donations!

Our Adult Literacy programme in #Madagascar seeks to impart important life skills. Zenatoloe is a mother of six children and sells mats to support her family. She is now learning to better articulate herself and learn the basic numeracy skills needed to support her business.

Adsum Foundation has teamed up with @feedback_mada in support of the Agroforestry Programme in rural #Madagascar, which includes the training of nurserymen, distribution and establishment of tree nurseries, leadership training, environmental education, and meetings with parents.

Growing trees alongside crops is known as agroforestry, and it has been shown to increase crop yields, biodiversity, soil health, erosion control, and sustainable revenue for farmers, particularly in small-scale agricultural models.

The programme helps to bridge that gap in education levels while aiming to sustainably increase household income. (2/2)

Adult Literacy and Numeracy are an important part of our focus on raising the quality of education in rural #Madagascar, where many adults did not get the same chance to learn basic life skills as their children... (1/2)

"I am old, but I have never used clean drinking water". Her village of Antsatrana requested Adsum's help in installing a well that will provide the entire community with clean and safe drinking water. To support projects such as this one, please do not hesitate to contact us!

Marceline Ravao (wearing the pink hat) is 69 years old and has seven children (3 boys and 4 girls), but she is concerned about the fact that her family has to rely on dirty water with parasitic diseases from the Sandrananta river in rural #Madagascar. Continued ⬇️
