Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the world. Though the country’s economy benefits from ecotourism, ecological research, and a growing agricultural sector, an unequal distribution of wealth has left more than 75% of the population living below the poverty line. The country is also extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change, in particular droughts, floods, and cyclones.
In Madagascar, our teams are focused on the drought-stricken region of Grand Sud. We are helping families cope with the climate crisis, work with local partners to strengthen the health system, and provide lifesaving treatment for malnutrition.
