Where it all started
Our home, Our impact, Our Purpose.
In Madagascar, an estimated 77% of children experience emotional abuse while growing up. Yet most systems focus on responding after violence has already happened.
When emotional skills aren't taught, verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse can become part of everyday life. Those patterns are often passed from one generation to the next. We believe prevention starts earlier.
That's why we've built three complementary programs that help prevent verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse before it escalates.
Together, they equip children, families, and communities with the emotional tools to build healthier relationships across generations.
