Antenna Technologies - Madagascar |
Antenna Technologies implements local solutions by simplifying technologies and making them more accessible to the poorest of the world’s populations. The approach of Antenna Technologies focuses on development: The goal is to create economically viable activities that eventually will lead to the autonomy of the recipients.
The fight against malnutrition by developing local Spirulina cultivation (a meal supplement with high nutritional value) is one of our main areas of focus.
 Donation from Bel's Foundation
 In Madagascar, in Rangaina, a village 10 km north of Antananarivo, Antenna Technologies will launch the development of a production and agricultural diversification center, as well as a Spirulina small-scale production operation. The center will provide various dietary supplements that are easily accessible and available locally. The project will begin with the construction of 350 m² of baths that will produce 440 kg of Spirulina, of which 30% will be distributed free of charge to 1,300 children. There will also be a Moringa farm (a tree with leaves containing significant nutritional value), as well as small-scale production operations and honey-producing hives.
Rangaina will be used as a Spirulina production center as well as an education center teaching local people about the cultivation of other basic products. Those who are trained here will learn these techniques to eventually be able to implement them for their own profit.
The Foundation has awarded a grant of €25k.
