12th of December we had very special celebration as it was our 10 years anniversary of starting our charity.
The time has gone fast and we still can not believe it has been that long since we first came here and started our mission step by step without even imagining how big it can grow.
Here we were today having a great party with a live music from a famous singer Princio and his band. Eating delicious meal followed by a giant cake. Our local team, hundreds kids with their parents, school staff and our special guests, we all had so much fun and a day to remember and still counting for more ANKIZY GASY can do for Malagasy Children.

The purpose of the Ankizy Gasy Children of Madagascar Foundation is to organize and provide humanitarian, development and educational aid as well as to counteract social exclusion in Madagascar.
Ankizy Gasy builds and renovates local schools, builds wells and canteens. NGO has implemented numerous aid projects dedicated to children and adolescents of all ages.
The main programme is called the Sponsorship Program and it provides the access to a free education, necessary accesssories and hot meals in school canteens.
For the last 10 years the charity have been working to educate children and young people in Madagascar who often live in extreme poverty and experience hunger in their everyday life.
Ankizy Gasy runs hygiene education classes dedicated to the youngest. During the pandemic many sanitary stations have been provided in the village schools where there was a no access to a running water. Soaps and disinfectants have been delivered on a daily basis . Extra funds were raised to pay for doctors appointment and medical bills for families who can not afford paid health services in Madagascar.
There is also a volunterring program which includes international and local volunteers to organize language courses, artistic workshops, and compensatory classes for children. Apart from teaching volunteers built sports fields and created child-friendly places by decorating classrooms, kindergartens and canteens.
Our NGO organizes different cultural events. The local team, children, parents and teachers celebrate important events, like Christmas, national holidays or birthdays. During such parties, there are special meals, gifts, live music and lots of singing and dancing.
