    Help us establish a shelter and rehabilitation center for women

    Many women in southern Madagascar need your help.

    Let's create a supportive and safe environment for them.

    About the project

    We are working to establish the first shelter and rehabilitation center in southern Madagascar for women and girls who have suffered from gender-based violence, rape, and forced marriage at a young age. The center offers them protection from their abusers, as well as accommodation, hot meals, psychological care, and support in personal, social, and later economic rehabilitation.

    Why is this important?

    In southern Madagascar, thousands of women and girls face daily a hard reality. With your support, we can provide them with the assistance they so desperately need and give them hope for a better future

    How can you help?

    Your donation will make a difference!

    Your donation will help fund the accommodation, meals, psychological treatment, and rehabilitation programs that are provided to the affected women and girls.

    This is your opportunity to lend them a hand.

    We require $28,000 to establish the shelter and cover its operations for the first year.
