Rural Educational Connections
We exist to solve problems and build connections in rural educational settings by building social and educational connections between the USA and Madagascar.
Specialized Programs
Nutritional Support
We currently have a large community garden. We would like to add a chicken and rabbit farm. The monthly cost is $100.
Book Programs
Each shipment of books costs $100. Rural Educational connections gathers the books. No book donations are needed at this time.
Curriculum Development
We have an educational specialist who works for REC Madagascar. It costs $125 for each two day training seminar. This includes teacher training and Christian education for 500 students.
Child Sponsorship
$19 a month includes clothing, healthcare, nutrition assistance, and school related costs. Each sponsorship is for a specific student.
Health Clinic
We currently have trained volunteers running our two bed clinic. Continuing the anti-parasite medicine costs $100 every three months. The cost for each patient to visit the clinic averages $10. It is the only health care in the village of 2,000 people.
Proper Storage
Proper storage for food and supplies is needed. $1,000 can solve this problem.
Education Buildings
School buildings are in need of significant repairs or reconstruction. It costs $500-$800 to repair each classroom.Â
Sanitation
Soap for basic hygiene and cleaning is needed. Students have almost no access to sanitation or hygiene products. $100 per month is needed.
We are committed to connecting individuals, businesses and organizations to rural schools in Madagascar
Our goal is to provide our partners with opportunities to connect with students, teachers, and staff at our base in Mahajanga province. These connections foster and improve student experiences and donor invlovement.
Extreme Needs
- Children in Madagascar have a 58% probability of being stunted in growth
- Primary school completion rate is 62% for girls and 57% for boys
- Healthcare in rural areas is almost always nonexistent
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.   Galatians 6:10
Learning & Fun
We have been educating children for twenty years. Our goal is to create a school that engages each child.
Nutritional Support
We serve around 500 students.
Qualified Teachers
We provide ongoing professional development in order to provide teachers with additional teaching methods.
Curriculum & Library
We are building a school library with books in English, French, and Malagasy. We also have foreign language books for students to learn Spanish, German, and other world languages. Many English easy reader books have been donated, however we continue to expand our library.
