A better future together

Noro – Married, mother of 2. I am a homemaker, and my husband works in construction. To be honest, since we are day labourers, it is difficult for us to face all our daily expenses. Despite our difficulties, ever since the Fihavanana Association has started supporting the school expenses for our children, we have managed to find a certain stability. Our mission is to give our children all they need to have a healthy life, go to school and reach their goals. On behalf of my family, I would like to thank the Fihavanana Association for its precious aid, because without it my children would have had to interrupt their schooling after finishing the elementary school.

Mariette – Mother of 2. As most houses do not have access to clean water, my job is to bring barrels of potable water to some of the families who live in my village. My family, on the other hand, sells stoves made of scrap iron and tin. We don’t have a fixed salary, so we have to work every day to make our living. We are very happy to have found the Fihavanana Association, who accepted to support the schooling expenses of our children ever since preschool. My oldest daughter, Anna, is in fifth grade now. I am very glad to say that my children, just like all other children, have the opportunity to go to school and create a better future for themselves. We can truly say that, even if we are poor, we are happy and we thank God for giving us our children, who are our wealth. They have all had good results in school, so we really want to say THANK YOU to the Fihavanana Association.

Ernestine – Mother of 3. I spend my days washing my neighbours’ dirty clothes, and my husband works as a builder. The Fihavanana Association has opened a big door for us. We are very relieved, because the schooling expenses have a huge impact on our family budget, especially at the beginning of the school year, and it would be impossible for us to handle them. Nevertheless, thanks to the support of the Fihavanana Association, which is very precious to us, our children have the right to go to school and will have the chance to go far and have a better future. We all want to thank Mrs. Cinzia and the Fihavanana Association from the bottom of our hearts.
