Who supports the project

Associations and volunteers

Associations and volunteer groups that support the poor through solidarity projects, whether secular or religious in inspiration.

Sensitive individuals

Free offerings from people sensitive to the concrete situations of poverty experienced in the social context of Madagascar.

People close to us

People who know us personally for our commitment to serving the poor through the canteen in Madagascar.

Important: all donations are free, according to each person or group's possibilities, and 100% of the support is sent to Madagascar weekly for running the canteen for the poor.

We buy from the poorest

Products are purchased directly from local street vendors to further support the economy of the poorest. Each donation helps twice: it supports the person receiving the meal and the person selling the food.
