Solution
The Centre Ketsa program, run by the Génération Mada association, provides high-quality, sustainable, holistic support (education/training, health, and social services) to 200 disadvantaged and vulnerable youth and their parents in the rural commune of Alakamisy Fenoarivo.
As part of the overall program, the young people benefit from a structured support system comprising various activities. This system helps them define their life plans and develop both technical skills (such as computer skills and languages) and social skills (such as civic responsibility and critical thinking). The goal is to ensure successful professional integration, in line with their personal aspirations and ambitions.
Parents receive personalized, capacity-building support tailored to their specific needs. This support helps them launch, organize, or formalize income-generating activities through various training programs (in entrepreneurship, agriculture, or rice-fish farming, etc.).
