2025 was an intense year for Malagasy communities. The difficult climatic conditions, together with political instability, have aggravated the health and food insecurity of many families, making the presence of our Center in the area even more essential.
On 9/12/2025, we administered vaccinations to children and adolescents for the first time at the Saint Paul Medical-Surgical Centre!
A year ago we introduced you to Niavo. A 6-year-old girl born prematurely, with a severe form of spasticity that we took care of at our Center.
In Madagascar, rice (called Vary) is not just a food: it is the real fulcrum of the daily diet and a pillar of local culture.
Since the last update on October 15, 2025, the situation in Madagascar has undergone important political developments, with direct implications for local communities and for the work of NGOs such as Change.
Last Friday we had the pleasure of experiencing a very special evening, dedicated to getting to know Madagascar more closely through the docu-film “Mora, mora — Faces of a Change”.

Are we all under the same sky? Yet I had never seen a sky like the one you see here in Ampefy, lying on the boulder next to the river that borders the house of us volunteers.
