We are a Humanitarian organization that works to improve life conditions in Madagascar, mainly on the health and education of women and children.
Founded in 2008 by Cinzia Catalfamo Akbaraly, the Foundation contributes to the development of a large number of projects across the country.
The activities of the Foundation are integrated with the “Millennium Development Goals” of the United Nations. In particular: no poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, gender equality, clean water and sanitation.
The Akbaraly Foundation believes that international aid has to be funded first and foremost on ideas, that’s why we want to know what you really think about our activities. In order to improve our cancer response system, which do you think is the priority? Which action do you want to support?
Talking about the disease is already the first step towards healing. Support our communication campaigns.
Cancer is a disease which treatment is still too expensive for most people in the world. Due to the country's economic and social situation, Madagascar observes a high mortality ratio.
The possibility of specializing in Medicine in the Malagasy universities is something quite recent. A project developed for the last 15 years has brought this education system to the country.
We are looking to discover more about the disease, in order to make our intervention more efficient. Help us.
An integrated program dedicated to children, which focuses especially on their education and growth, according to the universal principles of respect and dignity.
An integrated health program to fight against gynecological and breast cancers, to promote maternal and child health, and women’s health.
On 4 February 2018, we celebrated World Cancer Day in Mahajanga. Our goal was to raise awareness on the importance of preventive screening when it comes to preventing gynaecological and breast cancer, involving both medical professionals and the general public.
A collaboration between the DIRAP, the NGO La Vita per Te and the Akbaraly Foundation to guarantee the health of female prisoners, of their families and of the female staff of the penitentiary administration.
The success of our mission depends on the participation of people like you. Find an opportunity.
Les Fonds du Cœur is a project whose aim is to offer tangible support to ill women and children, pregnant women, malnourished children or children with severe birth defects. We ask you to help us in order to make up for most of the population’s lack of means and to continue, with love, to give life around us.
I’ve been living with this breast cancer since 2014: one day, while I was taking a bath I felt a very strange lump on my left breast. Since I used to work in a textile company, we had our private medical Center, so I went directly to the doctor and explained to him what had happened.
First of all, it’s necessary to trust in God, then you have to have a positive attitude, and once you begin a treatment, especially the chemotherapy, follow it carefully until the end, even if it’s very expensive. Share your experience with others, it may help them to realize that it’s very important to share and that they can have a normal life and make new friends too.
I would like to thank all the staff sincerely for the warm welcome, for sharing their knowledge with us and teaching us how to do a breast self-exam; I am going home with a wonderful “gift” and I can’t wait to share it with my students’ mothers. As a teacher, it is my duty to teach them the terrible consequences of cancer, and to convince them all to come to the Rex.
On the 5th February 2018, the Akbaraly Foundation, represented by Mr. Tiana Rasamimanana in his role as administrator, signed an agreement with the Ministry of Education, represented by the Minister himself, Mr. Paul Andrianiaina Rabary, and the Rotary Club Mahamasina, represented by Mr. Harindrianja Andrianasolo Rajemison, the President of the Club.
11th AORTIC CONFERENCE: WE WERE THERE!
The Akbaraly Foundation was invited to represent Madagascar at the eleventh international conference organized by AORTIC (the African Organization for Research and Training in Cancer) which was held in Kigali, Rwanda, last October.
This year, the Great Red Island, Madagascar, has become sadly known for a tragic event: the outbreak of plague, who has already made many victims.
For the current school year, 2017/2018, over a hundred orphans and impoverished children have been enrolled or re-enrolled in different schools throughout the country, thanks to the support and the commitment of our sponsors.
