Aid to Orphans of Madagascar is a bare bones, non-profit organization that strives to bring hope and opportunity to struggling Malagasy children and families. Working in Madagascar since 2000, AOM has identified some of the most needy organizations and offered help with the challenges of hunger and poverty. We are currently working with a center for street children and an orphanage.

We take pride in the fact that we have just one paid position, a facilitator in Madagascar, so donations to AOM go directly for essentials like the purchase of lentils and rice, pencils and books, and lessons on a sewing machine. A child given a bowl of food has time to learn instead of foraging for food on the street. A mother, given some training and a small business grant, can open a tiny stand and send her children to school.

In Antsirabe, AOM runs two preschools providing 140 of the neediest children (aged 2-6) with an education for the entire day which gives the parents a chance to spend the day earning money. more.....

AOM supports an orphanage here in Antsirabe that previously had no external funds but only covered its costs by working on the attached land. The orphanage is a home to 21 children from all different ages as well as the extremely friendly and hardworking staff and their families

Your donations allow us to provide rice, meat, vegetables and fruit to grow healthy bodies and minds. more....
