We are supporting a number of projects in memory of our beloved Alana, who died on 25th July 2019 as a result of the anti-malaria drug Doxycycline that she was taking.

In the UK we have set up a bursary at Alana's university home, Robinson College, Cambridge. This is specifically for the benefit of female students studying science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) subjects, something that we know Alana would thoroughly have approved of.

In Madagascar we have directly helped the villagers of the region where Alana was staying. It is an extremely poor area, and for the villagers to leave their farms and spend 10 days searching for her was extraordinarily generous. In 2022-23 we rebuilt the dilapidated school in Amboaboaka, which means that none of the children will need to have lessons outdoors as was previously the case. (More...)

Also in Madagascar, we have contributed to three further projects which support and develop education on an ongoing basis: the 'Education for Life' programme, Fara sy Dimby school and Boriziny (Port Berge) school. This now gives our activities in Alana's name an operational as well as construction focus.

Every small donation has and will make a difference; thank you. We will continue to post periodic updates from our projects, below.
