Madagascar
Country Info
CARE opened offices in Madagascar in 1992 with a mission to address the root causes of poverty among Madagascar’s poorest communities. We identified these root causes as social exclusion, lack of access to basic resources and services, poor governance, and gender inequality.
Our Vision
We seek a world of hope, tolerance and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and people live in dignity and security.
The work we do in Madagascar
Child Poverty
Half of all children live in poverty, spending their formative years struggling to survive.

Child Survival
This year, more than 7 million children will die before their 5th birthday.

Malnutrition affects 200 million children and the consequences can last a lifetime.
