Health & Wash
MCB WASH
As part of its partnership with the private sector, ADRA Madagascar, as a responsible organization aware of the challenges in potable water supply in Madagascar, has received funding from Mauritius Commercial Bank (MCB) to implement the MCB WASH South-East project in nine (9) communities (Fokontany) within the Farafangana district, Atsimo Atsinanana region of Madagascar.
The project’s objective is to improve the health and well-being of rural communities in Madagascar by providing them with sustainable and equitable access to clean water, promoting proper sanitation and hygiene practices, and strengthening community-based water resource management. The project aims to construct or rehabilitate nine (9) borehole systems to provide access to clean water and promote proper sanitation and hygiene practices for 800 target households.
The project will construct five (5) public sanitation facilities (for communities and/or schools) to complement household efforts in improving sanitation. The project’s ultimate goal is to provide sustainable and equitable access to WASH facilities for 4,000 people.
MCB KM du Cœur
MCB supports students in public schools under the “KM du Cœur” Project, ensuring they have access to clean water for proper hygiene and sanitation practices. Launched in 2022, the KM du Cœur Project targets public schools along National Road 2 (RN2), following the KM du Cœur trail from Carion to Antananarivo.
So far, the project has successfully constructed or rehabilitated five (5) potable water supply systems, providing 918 students with access to clean water and promoting proper hygiene and sanitation practices.
Additionally, the project has supported five (5) public schools, complementing ADRA’s efforts in distributing school meals in three (3) school canteens to improve children’s nutrition and academic performance.
ADRA Drilling Rig
ADRA has a skilled team and adequate equipment to carry out all drilling works, installation of manual, solar or electric extraction devices.
Mobile Dental Clinic
In February 2016, ADRA received a mobile dental clinic from International Caring Hands, a non-profit organization based in the States. The objective of this project is to provide free dental services to those who are unable to obtain dental treatment. ADRA holds about five dental campaigns in remote villages of Madagascar every year.
