Education is a fundamental right and one of the most powerful tools for building a more just future. This is evident in contexts such as Madagascar, where going to school can represent both a daily challenge and a concrete possibility for 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”.
We are happy to announce a new collaboration between Change ETS and the Nova School of Business and Economics (Nova SBE) of Lisbon, one of the most prestigious universities in Europe.

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.

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.
Back home from the November 2024 mission, we already felt the desire to start again, because at Ampefy we always leave a piece of our heart.
Needless to say, these three months have flown by.
It's hard to find the right words to tell what I'm going through and the profound meaning of this experience.
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.
Here in Madagascar, time passes slowly. I can understand it by watching the hospital patients waiting sitting or lying on the lawn, watching the children in the villages waiting for you to approach to play with the 'vazaha', the stranger.
Thanks to the support of Eight per Mille of the Waldensian Church, the St. Paul Surgical Medical Center it will have new energy.
