Open Arms opens its arms to women, men, boys, girls and all those fleeing horror, looking for a chance. The humanitarian emergency in the Mediterranean does not stop and our mission is to protect the lives of the most vulnerable at sea, and on land continues. Working in schools on human rights and empathy and denouncing all injustices is our mission as well. From your hand we can prevent more deaths. We need each other. You are needed.

AMIST Foundation project. Our goal is for pregnant women in Antsirabe, Madagascar, one of the poorest countries in the world, to have access to health control of their pregnancy and qualified care during childbirth, to try to reduce maternal and infant mortality. We focus on the recruitment of women and their follow-up in pregnancy, with analytical, ultrasound controls, quarterly consultations with midwives and assistance during childbirth.

The health crisis caused by the coronavirus revealed a much deeper crisis.
