MADAGASCAR VILLAGE PROJECTCONDITIONS IN MADAGASCARMadagascar is rated 193rd out of the 210 poorest nations on the planet. In 2001, it was estimated that over 70% of the population was living under the standard established by the International Poverty Measure of $ 1 per day. As of 1996, less than half of Madagascar men and a third of females were expected to achieve a 5th grade education. CONDITIONS AT THE VILLAGELiving conditions in small villages geographically removed from the capital, Antananarivo are even worse! God has directed us (FSCO) to help a village near Tamatave, where every child, adult and elderly person is involved in breaking large rocks into gravel, for road construction. The only water available for drinking, cooking and bathing, is provided by the small river that runs nearby. Since 70% of all endemic illnesses in Madagascar are waterborne, our first priority will be to drill a water well for the village.
