We strive to meet the United Nations Sustainability Initiatives
Aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
At Changes for Madagascar, our mission is to create a brighter future for children by reducing child labor and enhancing educational opportunities. By aligning our activities with several kUnited Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we contribute to global efforts in promoting sustainable development and improving the quality of life for children and their families.
SDG 1: No Poverty
Our initiatives aim to improve family stability and income by providing educational opportunities that can lead to better employment prospects in the future. By removing financial barriers to education, we empower families to break the cycle of poverty.
SDG 2: Zero Hunger
We address hunger by providing consistent, healthy meals to children, ensuring they have the nutrition necessary for cognitive development and overall well-being. Our efforts combat malnutrition and support children's growth and academic performance.
SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being
Our comprehensive health programs include access to medical care, vision services, and potable drinking water. These initiatives significantly improve children's health, reduce the incidence of water-borne diseases, and ensure a healthier, more active lifestyle.
SDG 4: Quality Education
We are committed to ensuring that all children have access to quality education. This includes providing school supplies, transportation, and access to technological resources such as computer labs and internet. Additionally, our language classes in English and French open up further educational and employment opportunities.
SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
By providing access to clean drinking water and proper sanitation, we ensure that children are less susceptible to diseases and can maintain good hygiene, contributing to their overall health and school attendance.
​
SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth
One of our primary goals is to reduce child labor by providing alternatives through education and skills training. By ensuring children are in school and gaining valuable skills, we prepare them for better employment opportunities, contributing to sustainable economic growth.
By strategically aligning our non-profit's activities with these SDGs, Changes for Madagascar is making a meaningful impact on the lives of children and their communities. This alignment not only helps us contribute to global development goals but also allows us to demonstrate our effectiveness and impact more clearly to stakeholders and potential funders. Our commitment to these goals ensures that we are part of a larger movement towards a sustainable and equitable future for all.
