Access to Sport - Children with disabilities - Infrastructure and equipment - Personal developmentContext
Thousands of young people in disadvantaged neighbourhoods of Toliara in south-west Madagascar are left to fend for themselves and struggle to survive. Many have stopped attending school, because they have no civil status (their birth was never officially registered), their family has no money or they lack motivation. Unwanted pregnancies are common among girls.
