The association Solidarité entraide fraternité (SEF) in Thouars, Deux-Sèvres, plays a significant role in improving living conditions in Madagascar. This region is considered one of the poorest in the world, particularly concerning education and access to clean water.
Recent Developments in Madagascar
On March 7, 2026, during their annual meeting, SEF President Maryvone Delavault provided updates on the current situation in Madagascar. A group from Madagascar attended the assembly, sharing their experiences and challenges.
Political and Environmental Challenges
The situation in Madagascar has been strained by recent events. A military takeover has affected the country’s stability. In addition, early in the year, Cyclone impacted Tamatave, the country’s second-largest city.

- Cyclone struck Tamatave, causing significant damage
While this cyclone did not directly impact the village where SEF operates, it has led to severe economic repercussions. The increased prices of essential goods have proven difficult for the impoverished population to endure.
Continued Humanitarian Efforts
Despite these challenges, the SEF has continued its work in Madagascar. The association achieved its objectives despite the tumultuous environment, focusing primarily on education and water accessibility.
The commitment of SEF to supporting Madagascar’s reconstruction efforts is crucial. As they navigate the ongoing issues, their initiatives offer hope to many affected by poverty and environmental disasters.
