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.

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.

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.

[Adsum Foundation @AdsumFoundation]

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)
