For the last two years, Madagascar received only around 60% of its usual average rainfall, the lowest in 30 years. How is this drought affecting Madagascar?The consecutive drought in the Grand Sud (South) continues to generate widespread food needs and exacerbate the vulnerabilities of poor communities, the majority of whom rely on agricultural livelihoods, according to the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).Although much help has been pledged, the situation is still dire and food shortage is a constant struggle. This recent article of the Financial Times gives a good insight into the complexity and gravity of the situation. The Elemental Water Foundation focuses on what we can do and are happy to provide you with this update on the progress of our third project in Madagascar for the community of Anja-Belitsaka. |

Meanwhile, funding is going steadily and we have already reached 57% of the total project funding. We are grateful for your support, which will materialize as clean water in Madagascar. |
