The findings
In Madagascar, the weaknesses of the educational system means that children have to walk for kilometres to get to school. This is the case in the village of Besely, where the NGO Ecoles du Monde opened a pilot school in 2014 with its own library and theatre.
Located 50km from Majunga (in the north-eastern part of the island), the school has over 120 pupils, from kindergarten to 3rd year of primary school, who can, in addition to traditional subjects, also learn English and French. They also have chess lessons.
Ce projet est important aux yeux de la Fondation du Groupe ADP, car il permet aux habitants des villages isolés en brousse de prendre en main l’éducation de leurs enfants. En cela, nous partageons avec Écoles du Monde les mêmes valeurs de développement et d’engagement sur les territoires où le Groupe ADP opère, dans le respect des cultures locales.
