“But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. “
Luke 10:33

SOME DATES
2010
Kangaroologist Elodie Prisca RANJANORO founded the association in response to the plight of hundreds of sick children from low-income families who couldn’t have access to the medical care they needed.
Shocked by the fact that a suffering child’s fate depended on his or her economic situation, the urgent need to set up a structure dedicated to this cause was, for her, self-evident.
2012
Obtaining a room at the Befelatanana University Hospital complex as headquarters.
2013
Establishment of the first Kangaroo Mother Care center within the Pediatric Service of the Toamasina University Hospital complex after specialized training in this method at the Fundación Canguro in Bogotá, Colombia, by the Founding President.
2017
Beginning of our partnership with the enterprise Star Madagascar. Since then, they have continuously provided emergency medicines and bottled water for sick children every month, helping over 2,000 children a year.
2021
Grant acquisition through the Fanainga program, funded by German Cooperation (GIZ), the European Union, the Principality of Monaco, and the Embassy of France in Madagascar for the awareness and training of healthcare personnel on the Kangaroo Mother Care method to save 6,000 children annually in the Analamanga region.
