Mahatalaky Primary School in southeast Madagascar serves 411 students. It was severely damaged by successive cyclones, leaving only four usable classrooms and unsafe sanitation facilities. Programme Sekoly will restore classrooms, repair latrines, build a menstrual hygiene facility, install a 10,000-litre rainwater system, deliver WASH education, repair the canteen, and support community tree planting. This will create a safe and climate resilient learning environment for children to thrive
The Mahatalaky school has suffered extensive damage from successive cyclones, including severe destruction caused by Tropical Storm Jude in 2025. Three of the school's five buildings were heavily damaged, leaving only four classrooms available for students across five year group. Lessons are now delivered on a half-day basis, reducing learning time and creating overcrowding. The damaged infrastructure exposes students and teachers to ongoing health and safety risks.
Programme Sekoly will restore classrooms, rehabilitate latrines, build a menstrual hygiene facility, install a 10,000-litre rainwater system, deliver WASH education, repair the canteen, and support community tree planting. This will create a safe, healthy, and climate-resilient learning environment for children to thrive. Out of the $98650 needed, $39150 has been secures and we are looking to secure $57500 for the project.
The project will improve educational outcomes by providing a safe, resilient learning environment where children can attend school consistently and learn effectively. Better access to clean water, sanitation, and menstrual hygiene facilities will reduce illness and barriers to attendance, particularly for girls. WASH education and community-led management structures will promote lasting behaviour change, while climate-resilient infrastructure and tree planting will strengthen the community's abi
