PPAF does great work in Haiti, addressing the problems of clean cooking. Even in this time of extreme instability PPAF continues its vital work to provide safe cooking options and livelihoods for Haitians.
It has been a great experience to work in collaboration with PPAF in Haiti promoting solar cooking and biodigester. I appreciate the knowledge sharing and the support from the board. (Rose Bazile)
As an intern from July-September 2017 I experienced PPAF as a great organization to stand for fighting against social and environmental issues. During my internship we focused on clean cookstoves and fuels especially in Haiti. The foundation gives special attention to helping overcome the poverty and prevent deforestation by providing sustainable resources for everyone. It was an amazing experience to be a part of this interesting and effective project and a pleasure to work for such an innovative organization. (a volunteer)
PPAF continues to do great work in Haiti despite political unrest and natural disasters within the area. Throughout the pandemic, the foundation has worked tirelessly to raise money to maintain support. (a volunteer)
The ASAMA Project in Madagascar.
1.National context
Madagascar is a low-income and developing country in the Indian
Ocean, ranked 155th out of 187 countries on the United Nations
Human Development Index.
Primary education enrolment and completion rates are among the
targets that will not be met in the development goals if more supports are not provided.
According to UNESCO, Madagascar is experiencing huge difficulties in
improving its literacy rates, which are 64.5% and 64.9% respectively
for adults and young people.
2.The components of the ASAMA program are designed to develop an
intensive learning method to encourage the return of young
teenagers and adults with low literacy skills to elementary school.
In ten (10 ) months (compared to five years for a normal course from Grade 1 to 5 ), they are able and qualify for the examination of the "Elementary Primary
Studies Certificate "(EPSC) with an average 80% success rate.
2) The implementation of the ASAMA program requires prior
compliance by the organizers with the following criteria :
Identify classes of at least 30 teenagers and adults in poor areas;
Obtain permission from parents and local authorities;
Find premises to host the training ;
Engage local and international partners such as PUBLIC PRIVATE ALLIANCE FOUNDATION (PPAF ) to support learners, provide school meals, cover various school supplies expenses and teachers 'salaries;
Prepare and assist for the EPSC final examination
PPAF's assistance and partnership are highly instrumental in helping the ASAMA project reach its goals.
