ASOS

ASOS, in partnership with communities and educational and administrative authorities, is taking action to promote access to basic education for children in precarious situations. This is achieved by improving the school environment and strengthening the education system.

In order to guarantee quality education, ASOS focuses on building the capacity of teachers and improving teaching tools in state primary schools.

ASOS identifies, sets up if necessary, revitalises and provides technical support to local school management structures.

With their ‘entertain to educate’ approach, ASOS conducts fun activities known as ‘bridges’ to promote the integration and return to school of children under the age of 16.

ASOS carries out mobile medico-nutritional activities in many districts where there is a nutritional alert. These activities are led by doctors to provide local and inclusive care to vulnerable groups, including children under 5, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and the elderly.

The association provides regular medical check-ups for schoolchildren, as well as targeted awareness-raising campaigns on nutritional issues linked to school health.

ASOS treats cases of moderate and severe acute malnutrition and refers complicated cases to nutritional rehabilitation centres.

ASOS works with care centres to refer cases and provide feedback to the community.

Asos raises awareness of children’s rights.

ASOS sets up, trains, supports and accompanies women’s groups and village savings and loan associations.

ASOS indentifie, séléctionne et renforce la capacité des 50 OSC et organisations communautaires de base (OCB) dans le Grand Sud de Madagascar sur le leadership humanitaire.

ASOS is setting up socio-organisers in the communes to observe and support the implementation of community action plans.
