Madagascar – Azafady UK (presently SEED Madagascar)

Support for the activities of the Azafady UK organisation (presently SEED Madagascar)

COUNTRY

Madagascar is an island state off the south-eastern coast of Africa, with a population of 25 million,000,000. It is the fourth largest island on Earth.

The country is very poor. It is estimated that 70% of the population lives below the poverty line. It is a young society – almost 60% is under 25 years of age.

Madagascar’s inhabitants live mainly in rural areas, which have a poorly developed infrastructure. Nearly 80% of the population finds employment in agriculture, fishing, and forestry.

Local residents have limited access to health care and education. Despite the constitutional right to free primary education, not all children go to school, and only two thirds of the population are literate.

ORGANISATION

SEED Madagascar (formerly Azafady UK) is a British charity that carries out projects aimed at protecting the environment and supporting sustainable development in the south-eastern part of the island.

SEED Madagascar conducts all the projects in cooperation with local communities to ensure that their work will help solve the most serious problems. One of the organisation’s activities is the construction and renovation of schools in south-eastern Madagascar. The organisation also supports small businesses of the inhabitants.

PROJECTS

Kulczyk Foundation donated funds to Azafady UK (presently SEED Madagascar) to finance the complete refurbishment of a school in Hovatraha and to support women embroidery project - Stitch Sainte Luce.

Dominika Kulczyk

Children shouldn't live such a life. That's why I think their joy and huge smiles they give are utterly beautiful.

Social awareness programs

Our aid projects help us understand the problems the modern world is facing. Our documentaires and educational programs drive change across societies .

Documentaries

Our documentaries shine a light on community problems in different parts of the world, and present organisations and local unsung heros who benefit from our support. In Poland, the Domino Effect TV series is created in cooperation with TVN - the largest private television in Poland. Through this work, we are able to reach those who might have never heard about a specific issue or the way in which they can help. This partnership results in a number of long form documentaries, which have been recognised at international film festivals. As part of our partnership with the CNN Freedom Project, we also produce a series of documentaries for English speaking audience. The series explores the issues of modern slavery and human trafficking, and is regularly broadcast on CNN International.

Educational programs

Since the beginning of its existence, the Kulczyk Foundation has been working to shape the socio-emotional competences of children and adolescents. We prepare unique lesson plans adapted to various stages of education. These focus on explainining the complex world of universal values and emotions, encourage reflection and the ability to draw conclusions. Ultimately help to build knowledge about ourselves and the world, and to shape attitudes towards the reality that surrounds us. As part of this commitement, we also provide workshops, conferences for teachers and faculty staff. We believe that wise education, implemented in a spirit of freedom and empathy, is a basic component of sustainable development for every human being, as well as a chance for a good start in adult life. No matter where they are from.
