Mahajanga
“But Jesus said, ‘Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’” — Matthew 19:14 (NASB)
About Mahajanga
In June 2016 we launched Iris Mahajanga as the second Iris Global location in Madagascar.
We are situated on the northwest coast of Madagascar and have a home for children who are orphaned or abandoned. It is our mission to raise them in the love of the Father.
We currently have nine children living with us. We have a beautiful home for orphaned or abandoned children and provide for all their physical, spiritual, and emotional needs. We are pleased to participate in Stop for the One’s sponsorship program and you can get more information here.
Once a week we feed up to 150 children. We have an amazing time of worship where we dance and sing with all of our hearts. Then we do a Bible drama, eat food, and play games. During the year we also do health education, distribute hygiene supplies, and work with parents to institute these practices at home.
This program is focused on the especially poor families in our community. Many are malnourished and unemployed when they first join the program. We do our best to provide a wide range of assistance, but are very intentional to build it around discipleship. Through micro-finance projects, home building & repair, food distribution, education, and medical care we demonstrate Jesus and His love.

love looks like a pot of yoghurt
in my first few days in Madagascar, many years ago now……I was shocked to discover that a pot of yoghurt was something that so many in the nation never got to enjoy because of poverty. Even those who had a full time job - after they had paid for their rent, food, school fees etc….there was never anythi...
‘multiplication miracle’
last week our landlady contacted us and said ‘when are you going to be paying the rent?’ It was the first time ever that we had forgot to send the rent money on time. So we apologised and quickly got the money together. It was counted three times here before it went to the bank where it was verifi...
