School in antanitsara
--
The problem
Antanitsara is the birth place of Miremby's founder Tsiraiky. At the age of 10 Tsiraiky and his 3 younger siblings left home to get an education at a neighbouring village and at 14 he had to move to Fort Dauphin to get a senior school education. Although there is a simple school one room school in the village the building is in poor repair, there are few facilities (only a blackboard and chalk) and the teacher is poorly paid. Children older than 12 must move to the town of Fort Dauphin to gain their Baccalaureate certificate and access further education and decent jobs. However in this largely subsistence community families rarely have money to pay for children to move to town to study
The Goal
- To refurbish the school building.
- Buy books and resources for the teacher and students
- Pay the several teachers so that students are split into age determined classes.
- Fund scholarships so that students who want to continue their education can be supported in living in Fort Dauphin during term time to complete their baccalaureate.
