Answer: Over half of Madagascar’s 15 million people are children. In rural areas, families, with an average of six children, live in small huts measuring approximately 10' by 12'. The children in these areas have little or no access to schools or clinics; they do not know how to read or write and have never been seen by a doctor or dentist. The children in the photograph are smiling because they now attend a school built by the Madagascar Ankìzy Fund and they have received their first medical and dental care. The fund is dedicated to increasing the number of schools and clinics on remote parts of the island so that these and other bright children can have an even brighter future.
