New school complex in Madagascar funded by Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia

·

The Greek Orthodox Diocese of Toliara and Southern Madagascar has announced the establishment of a new school complex — including a primary, middle, and high school — thanks to a generous contribution from the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Australia (GOAA).

This marks the second school built in the Diocese, with Bishop Prodromos of Toliara and Southern Madagascar describing the support as “a silent but essential support in the daily struggle of our children for education and a life with future perspective.”

In a public statement on social media, Bishop Prodromos extended deep thanks to His Eminence Archbishop Makarios of Australia and acknowledged the “faith and consistency” of Australian bishops, clergy, and faithful who have supported the mission.

“This new school is not just another building. It is another chance at life for hundreds of children who thirst for learning and progress,” he said.

The Diocese expressed gratitude to all who contributed, adding, “Their memory will remain alive through the laughter and joy of the children who will pass through the gates of this school every day.”
