A word from the President
Created in 1997, the International Chain of Solidarity Enfants de la Rue (EDLR) enables Malagasy children living in poverty to go to school and get an appropriate education.
The Association has three essential components, namely:
The children in need,
The volunteers on location, and
One sponsor for each child
For the Christmas party, we are supported by generous donors here and throughout the world. Thanks to them, every year since 1997, a fun show is organized; our children go home with full stomachs and armfuls of gifts!
Dear visitors, there, in a few words, is what we are doing in the Great Island.
For further details on our news, please visit the website.
Thanking you in anticipation on my behalf and that of the children.
The Founding President, Nicky Van Ass

Sponsoring a child ... Sponsors pay 55 Euros per year. Volunteers of the chain on location allocate to the children’s parents or guardians a monthly sum to pay their school fees.
Volunteers also monitor the children’s school attendance through strict verification of School Attendance Cards. Cards are stamped every term by the management of schools. On the first day of the school year, control is conducted by people in charge, based on the registration certificate issued by the school, which is also verified for authenticity.
In addition, all the children are registered at OSTIE (medicare), so their health is monitored
