The school in Antsirab\u00e9 is currently at a turning point. For several years, it has managed to operate thanks to occasional financial support. However, the headmistress, Zoeline, recently shared some crucial information with us: the partner who has been helping the school has announced that it will end its support at the end of 2025. From then on, the school will no longer be able to pay its teachers. This situation immediately transforms the daily reality of the school into a real Antsirab\u00e9 school emergency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udc9b For children, this school is an essential refuge. It provides them with a place to learn, stability and sometimes even their only balanced meal. Closing it would therefore have a profound impact on their future.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udce9 An official message that changes everything<\/h2>\n

Zoeline forwarded us the message she received. The tone is set from the very first lines:<\/p>\n

\n

\u00abThe majority of our council voted to end our one-off support for your school at the end of 2025.\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This sentence changes everything. It means that the school loses its main source of funding. As a result, it becomes impossible to pay teachers' salaries. Without teachers, the school can no longer function. And without school, children lose a fundamental pillar of their lives.<\/p>\n

So, even though the same message refers to a future project for 2026, it does not provide any immediate solution. Indeed, the partner explains that an agreement in principle exists to help renovate the premises. However, this renovation concerns the walls, not salaries. Furthermore, this support only concerns 2026, which does not address the current crisis at all.<\/p>\n

Because the urgent issue concerns teachers' pay, the school is facing a total financial vacuum. We must therefore take action.<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfa5 Videos that show everyday reality<\/h2>\n

To show us the real situation, Zoeline has sent us several videos filmed over the last few days. These images help us understand what is at stake.<\/p>\n
