Christmas is a time for giving. While people at home may
have plenty, Madagascar is home to some of the world’s poorest people and most
endangered species of wildlife. To mark the beginning of advent and the
Christmas season, MfM have launched two festive themed appeals: to buy a
Christmas meal for each of the 1000 children being cared for by our partners; and our ‘Christmas tree’ appeal to plant a tree in Madagascar and aid the
reforestation effort.
MfM supports centres which care for over 1000 destitute
children in Madagascar, providing them with a home, education and food. These
centres rely on the generous support of donors around the world. One of the
biggest costs they face is to provide meals for the children in their care. Just
£5 can provide a meal for a child this Christmas and we hope to raise £5000 to
provide a Christmas dinner for each of the 1000 children living in our centres.
Madagascar’s rainforests are also home to amazing and unique
species of wildlife – but they are under threat. Deforestation is putting
extreme pressure on the country’s rainforests, and destroying vital habitats putting
many species of flora and fauna at risk of extinction, forever. Just £1 can buy
an extra-special ‘Christmas tree’ which will aid in the restoration of these
rainforests and also provide a gift to the animals which call them home.

your friends and give a present to Madagascar this holiday season. Thank you.
