We are a secular entity founded by a group of people who shared the concern for a fairer world. This is how we create YAMUNA; with the knowledge of being ants, but with the conviction that by joining forces we could do many things.
A Madagascar , there is a high number of minors at risk of social exclusion, abandoned or families in extreme poverty and also single women with sons and daughters in a situation of marginalization, mostly illiterate, living in very precarious areas and they have no job or livelihood.
Lin 2003 we started , in the village of Vontovorona (20 km from Antananarivo, capital of Madagascar), a program to protect women i in 2006 the comprehensive protection program for children and young people to combat malnutrition, lack of medical and psychosocial care, schooling and literacy problems, and so on.
In the’ India , the discrimination suffered by women is sadly known, the in 2005 the girls’ schooling program began in a slum in Calcutta.
