Our 2026 objectives
Humanitarian projects 2026: school autonomy in Antsirabe and school continuity in Nepal 🌱📚
In 2026, Helping Hands is pursuing a deliberately targeted, realistic and sustainable approach. This year, the association is concentrating its efforts on two complementary and inseparable areas:
- strengthening the autonomy of the Antsirabe school in Madagascar,
- ensure the continuity of schooling for children supported in Nepal.
Two territories, two different contexts, but the same conviction: a child should never be forced to interrupt his or her education for lack of resources.
🇲🇬 Antsirabe: keeping the school going today, making it self-sufficient tomorrow
In Antsirabe, Helping Hands takes both emergency and long-term action. The immediate priorities remain essential:
- the school canteen, essential for feeding children and encouraging their attendance,
- teachers' salaries, which guarantee continuity in teaching,
- school supplies, the foundation of all learning.
On this basis, the association develops progressive autonomy projects, designed with local partners and adapted to the realities on the ground:
- a henhouse, to produce eggs for the canteen and improve nutritional intake in the long term,
- a vegetable garden, to supplement meals, reduce costs and pass on essential knowledge,
- lamps and lighting solutions to improve study, working and safety conditions.
These projects have a clear objective: Reduce dependence on outside help and enable the school to operate with its own resources.
🇳🇵 Nepal: guaranteeing the continuity of schooling for the children we support
In Nepal, Helping Hands is continuing its long-standing commitment to children from very disadvantaged backgrounds. In 2026, the main challenge is to ensure the continuity of their schooling, which is often undermined by :
- the financial instability of families,
- school, supplies or transport costs,
- the constant risk of dropping out of school.
The aim of Helping Hands is to avoid any disruption: to enable children to stay at school, continue their education and build a future for themselves, despite the difficulties.
It's not a question of spectacular projects, but of constant, human and discreet support, which makes all the difference over the long term.
In 2026, Helping Hands is working to :
- maintain the canteen, teachers and supplies in Antsirabe,
- developing the henhouse, vegetable garden and lighting solutions to make the school self-sufficient,
- guarantee the continuity of schooling for children in Nepal,
- support children over the long term, with fair, measured and appropriate help.
🎯 Our target for 2026: ensuring that today's help does not create tomorrow's dependency,
and that every child supported - in Antsirabe as in Nepal - can learn, grow and move forward with dignity.
