Enfants de Tana was founded by Nicole Faure, a shareholder in Hotel Niaouly and a long-standing friend, to provide practical support to families in Antananarivo.
Its work includes covering children’s schooling and medical care, as well as funding parents’ professional projects to help them regain lasting independence and gradually move out of poverty.
The families and children receive regular monthly follow-up. Nicole Faure carries this out when she is in Madagascar; otherwise, Brigitte and Andry, members of the Hotel Niaouly team, provide local support.

Graines de Bitume was founded in March 2000 by a French–Malagasy group bringing together Médecins Sans Frontières volunteers working in Madagascar and friends and relatives concerned about children living in extreme poverty.
The association supports 267 children living with their families in often very difficult circumstances. It welcomes them at two day centres, depending on where they live and their level of schooling, to provide suitable support.
Through its daily work, Graines de Bitume helps street children in Antananarivo reintegrate into society, supporting both their education and their career guidance and vocational training.

Active in Madagascar since 1989, SOS Children’s Villages welcomes and protects siblings who have lost family support, including orphaned or abandoned children and those without parental care.
Its work extends across several parts of the country, including Antananarivo, Antsirabe, Tamatave, Majunga, Tuléar, Fort-Dauphin, Ambovombe, Ampanihy, Betioky, Beloha, Bekily and Tsihombe.
Within its villages, the association seeks to give each child a stable, loving and lasting home, rebuilding strong family bonds around a structured household and a caring maternal figure.
It also runs family strengthening programmes to support vulnerable households and prevent abandonment.
This comprehensive approach aims to uphold each child’s fundamental rights: adequate food, protection, healthcare and education. In 2017, its programmes supported and protected 36,325 beneficiaries.

Founded in 1980 by Edmond Kaiser and based in Switzerland, Fondation Sentinelles provides practical, immediate and lasting help to children, women and men facing severe hardship.
Its commitment is to act where suffering is overlooked, forgotten or inadequately addressed, offering support tailored to each person while respecting their dignity and fundamental rights.
Present in Madagascar since 1987, the foundation works in several essential areas. These include orthopaedic care for children with deformities, family and social reintegration for young people in conflict with the law, and support for pregnant women and women imprisoned with their children.
It also assists families experiencing social exclusion and has established a low-cost clinic in a particularly vulnerable neighbourhood of Antananarivo, helping improve local living conditions over the long term.

For several years, volunteers at La Maison de Nathalie have supported disadvantaged children in Ambalavola, on the outskirts of Diégo-Suarez. Many are orphans or live in severe poverty.
At this welcoming centre, children receive free, balanced meals, tutoring and educational and cultural activities.
A main goal is to help them enter and remain in school. Essential school equipment is provided, and sponsorships cover school fees for several children.
Beyond material assistance, La Maison de Nathalie offers valuable local support based on listening, consistency, a caring presence and practical help for particularly vulnerable children.
Ongoing needs
The association regularly seeks supplies, including:
- French dictionaries, including older editions;
- basic school supplies and educational materials;
- nutritional supplements that can be added to the children’s meals.
