Ivato Orphanage Nutrition Program

Madagascar

Madagascar is the world’s fourth largest island and possesses some of the world’s most incredible biodiversity. However, with approximately 50 percent of the population living below the poverty line, the country struggles with insufficient health care, access to clean water, and nutrition. During a crucial period, For Granted helped financially support the Ivato Orphanage to provide nutrition for the 60 children in Antananarivo. The Ivato Orphanage was struggling to properly care for these displaced children for several years. Through the efforts of For Granted and many generous donors, the children were able to receive two balanced meals per day when the children would previously go days without any food. Currently, the Ivato Orphanage is not seeking external financial assistance from For Granted. It has made great efforts to improve its organizational structure and financial security.
