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.

SOME OF OUR PROGRAMS

Specialized Programs

Morning Snack
200-225 Students Served
– 10¢ per snack
– $2 per month per student

Mailing or delivering books in French, Malagasy, and English for our tiny library.  The library needs foreign language books, dictionaries, Bibles, and teacher training materials. 

Internet based professional development and in person training.  Cost is $500 per year for campus wide Internet.

A guest house has been built.  It needs finishing touches and appliances.

Health and Dental Care

Our clinic is temporarily closed. We need to be able to pay the minimum monthly salary for a doctor. We are still in desperate need of more supplies and over the counter medicine.  Anti-parasite medicine is the biggest need at the time.

Proper storage for food and supplies is needed.  Someone must shop daily for supplies to cook for 250+ students. Currently pursing more efficient options.

School buildings are in need of significant repairs or reconstruction. Our wooden desks and benches often break. More sturdy long-term solutions are needed.

Sanitary water for cooking and drinking is needed.  Kids have almost no access to clean water.  Sanitation and hygiene are priorities.

TESTIMONIALS

Kind Words from Our Network

Why Madagascar?

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.

Healthy Morning Snacks

We serve around 250 students a daily morning snack.

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.
