Madagascar: training and recovery from cyclone

13 March 2025

CMS-Africa country coordinator for Madagascar, Ialy Tongasoa, is conducting various training programmes in Ampasimanjeva over the next few weeks: 3D (Discover, Develop, Deploy; training to help young people identify, develop and start using their skills), F4 (Financial Freedom for Families; a biblical stewardship and budgeting course) and women’s empowerment training. Pray for people in Ampasimanjeva to be encouraged about the abilities and resources they already have and for opportunities to open up as they put their training into practice over the coming months and years. Pray, too, for the people of Ampasimanjeva as they recover from cyclone Honde, which has damaged farmers’ crops.
