Please note. All donations are voluntary, according to each person's or group's means, and 100% of the support is sent to Madagascar weekly for running the canteen for the poor.

We buy from the poorest

Food is bought directly from local street vendors to further support the economy of the poorest. Each donation helps twice, the person who receives the meal and the person who sells the food.
