🦞 Under our Sustainable Livelihoods Programme, the Stitch Sainte Luce Cooperative emerged from pandemic challenges and returned to profit with sales for the year providing the embroiderers with crucial income support during a time of extreme price rises; The Mahampy Association is gaining strength with an extension of the studio started in October and some successful literacy sessions completed. Both Project Renitantely and Oratsimba have laid the foundations and partnerships necessary to flourish in 2023 and have some exciting activities on the horizon.

🌳 Our Conservation Programme has been revived after many months of drought and donors focussing on health projects. The team have been able to replant trees, carry out research trips - with some brilliant volunteers! - reinvigorating biodiversity protections and significantly building our knowledge of biodiversity in readiness for the challenging years ahead. 

📚 Our Education Programme has grown dramatically, we have completed more schools in a year than ever before, not only providing education infrastructure for hundreds of children in the Anosy region, but also providing drinking water, toilets and sanitation facilities.  

👩‍🍼Within Community Health, our food distribution project has grown to a scale that would have been unimaginable when we started. The awareness raised by the team and project donors has been immense. We have also seen a strengthening of the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights network, culminating in an incredible conference of engaged and active stakeholders in November. 

Thank you for your contribution to these successes, whether that be through donations and fundraising, sharing our stories on social media, or simply telling friends, family or colleagues about us. None of these great achievements could have been made without your generous help 🧡
