SOS Children's Villages
They began working in Madagascar in 1990 when the first community was built in Vontovorona, about 20kms south of the
capital Antananarivo. Initially seven family houses were built, but there are now fourteen as well as two youth houses where the older children live while they are taking their first guided steps towards independence. In 1995 a farm was set up to provide agricultural training. The two year programme includes stock farming, reforestation and sericulture. Fruit and vegetables and sheep, poultry and rabbits reared on the farm are used in the Children's communities.
