Subject: Hi Friend, Merry Christmas from SEED Madagascar! 🎄🎅🧡

Bats, chameleons, handwashing nudges and emergency food relief

Hi Friend,

As we try to enjoy the strangest festive season of our lives, let’s celebrate what we’ve achieved in this most unusual year. We’ve embarked on our largest health project ever, planted hundreds of trees in forest corridors, moved closer to establishing a protected marine area in a new community, and learned a lot about animals large and small in Sainte Luce.


All of this is only possible thanks to your generous support, so from the bottom of our hearts, thank you, and have a Merry Christmas!

The Big Five: Bats or chameleons?

Forget elephants and rhinos, at SEED we’re more interested in tiny chameleons and Madagascar Flying Foxes! Hoby, our amazing SEED Conservation Research Programme leader, and Sylvie, our resident batman, joined the Big Five appeal this month, and they need your help to dislodge Team Lemur from the top of the podium!

A nudge in the right direction

Our Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and construction teams have been working hard to increase preventative measures in the 10 healthcare facilities we work in. With the support of the British Embassy in Madagascar, we've recently provided:

  • 24 benches to support comfortable physical distancing in waiting areas

  • 10 notice boards incorporating handwashing "nudges"

  • 6 more handwashing stations with painted nudges

Learn about handwashing nudges and how they work

Famine in Southern Madagascar

Southern Madagascar is currently experiencing extreme food shortages and rising prices. After 10 months of closed borders and restrictions on travel and trade, food insecurity is growing across the Island with the situation in the south now critical. Coupled with seasonal drought and cyclical lean seasons, this means 1.5 million people are now not able to find enough food to eat, and we expect this to worsen in 2021.


We are now planning for food relief distributions from Mahatalaky to Manambaro as part of our work with rural health centers, and how we can adapt projects to incorporate emergency food relief.
