The island of Madagascar is the fourth largest in the world with more than 17 million people. 75% live below the poverty line, and an average life expectancy is 53 years. 50% of children are severely stunted in their growth, more than 50% of the population is under the age of 18, yet there are no schools in the rural areas where they are needed most.
When Grace Pease, a 15-year-old girl from Maine, USA, learned about Madagascar she wanted to do something to help. Woodworth Associates designed a fundraising package for Grace to use in area schools when she talks about her work in Madagascar to students and teachers.
In Addition, Grace and her mother produced a PowerPoint presentation using many of the photos that appeared in the brochures, forming a complete package to inform teachers and students in the United States about the plight of Malagasy children, and how they can help.
