Three questions for Chantal
What is your motivation for the Masoala project?
The conviction that our various project activities will improve the lives of many people.
An unforgettable moment in your project?
It was during my field visit to the communities in Mandritsara in May 2023. The travel was long, difficult and tiring, but all hardships were forgotten once we arrived, and sat around a fire in their small kitchenn and talked. It was simple but full of love and laughter – an experience that will remain engraved in my memory.
Your biggest wish for your project?
To duplicate our project in other areas so that one day all women in difficult situations will have the means to provide for their families. That we can help women to become self-sufficient regardless of their marital status.
