We fund grass-roots initiatives to lift vulnerable Malagasy out of poverty.

Story

I am raising money to help feed the people of Madagascar who are currently experiencing a devastating famine due to years of drought. I am setting myself the challenge of running everyday of September. Not much for some, but after having a complicated labour and a nearly 6 month old baby to look after this will be physically (as well as finding the time) challenging for me. 

‘’Although drought is common in the south, the current level of hunger is unprecedented.  Mothers are reduced to preparing a mixture of clay and tamarind to fill their children’s empty stomachs.  Even the tamarinds are running out and the cacti, a staple at times of hunger, have long dried up.

The World Food Programme has begun to distribute food but they do not have resources to reach everyone in need.  Although MfM is small we can make a big difference.  Working with our  partner ALT we are delivering nutritious meals to hundreds of children every day.’’ MfM website
