Malaria Prevention in Fiadanana


A little money goes a long way in Madagascar

Water supply in Fiadanana in 2005:

Water Supply in 2007:

Boy drinking water with cup from communal faucet

Several people have asked how their donation to Zahana makes a difference in Madagascar. Based on our experience in Fiadanana, we created a short list with some examples. We hope this list (in US$), will give you an idea what your donation can buy:

Please note: that these numbers are approximations in US dollars.  With the exchange rate of the dollar to the Malagasy Ariary fluctuating sometimes by 20% it is difficult to predict what things will cost until each project is actually realized.  As one example: the price for cement doubled from 2005 to 2009.
