Thrive Madagascar Provide Education ~ Provide Opportunity HISTORY

Thrive Madagascar (aka CSM) started when a young man had a vision in India in the year 2002.

Before the trip to India this young man was asked himself “why are you going there? There are already so many people helping the Indians. YOU don't need to go!” The young man said “I'm just going to play cricket!”

As soon as he hopped off a train in India, there were small children in dirty rags, people with horrid deformities, mothers with their babies and many needy begging for him to give them something. He wondered where the people who were meant to be helping them were. At that moment, the young man was overwhelmed and knew in his heart he had to do something. During that trip and over the next few years of overseas trips he continued to have this vision to build centres to feed the poor. Feeding them is just the start -- Chosen Servant Ministries is also about teaching those in need how to feed themselves. After a trip to Madagascar early in 2008 this young man sat down with some highly respected people and told them about his vision. These people said “Brendan, we believe in this vision and trust God with you to bring it to pass.” And so, after discussions they provided him with a good accountant, and paid for all the fees to set up the ministry. And so, Chosen Servant Ministries was started.

We have opened our own school this year, starting with kindergarten, year one and year 2.

Many of our children come to us with some form of trauma (physical, mental, emotional and neglect) impacting greatly on their intellect.

This has caused many to remain in year one for three years or more! And to top this off, the public school is overcrowded and struggling to provide quality education!

We provide free schooling and school equipment, free morning tea (fruits from our own farm!) and free lunch to our students and teachers.

This year, we are only welcoming orphans, staff children and children with learning difficulties.

There is so much to say about this program but to sum it up in a few words: it’s one of God’s amazing plans for our ministry!

Thank you for your continued support!

At only 16, she was about to lose her front teeth, but our emergency relief fund (ERF) prevented that.

Laurencia lost her confidence for many months, and dreaded going back to school due to her front teeth 🦷😫!

The only option she could afford was extraction, but with your help, we managed to help her keep her teeth and save her smile!

Thank you for your continued support! 🙏🥰

Did you know that more than half the population of Madagascar have never seen a lemur in their lives?🐒🙈🙊🐵

That’s because more than 80% of Madagascar’s primal forest is gone 😢!

Some of our children were part of that unfortunate statistic until last week. Alexa, our very generous volunteer took them to this awesome lemur island🏝️, a bit of a drive from the city!

They absolutely loved it! Thank you Alexa for all that you have done and still doing for us xx

Back in September 2025, there was a protest that led to the change of government here in Madagascar 🇲🇬.

The protest was originally caused by the constant water and electricity cuts.

It’s now been over 8months since then, and we have noticed many positive changes.

Where Thrive is located, our electricity is now running 24/7 and our water is running for about ten hours per day (contrary to the 2hrs a week we used to have if we were lucky).

We are now able to resume our daily tasks without the strain of fetching for water for hours every single day.

Roads leading to many major cities are also being fixed.

We are looking forward to what the future holds for this nation while we continue to serve here the best we can.

Thank you for keeping us in your prayers ❤️🙏🏽

These past few weeks, we concreted the pathway and a disability ramp to TLC (The Living Centre) while covering the exposed water pipes and creating a cleaner environment for the locals.

The work never stops here, all thanks to our staff and supporters!

We just finished the outdoor toilets and bathroom the Fowler boys started in February, at The Living Center.

This is very much needed as most people in this area do not have access to these very basic utilities. Most people in this neighbourhood shower in a bucket in their own house or pay a quarter of their daily wage to access a public bathroom.

The first people benefiting from this are the people we support (people with disabilities and single mothers and their children), but it is free to use for anyone in need!

Slowly, our ability to support this community grows and it’s all because of the amazing supporters we have.

Thank you for your continued support.
God is great 🙏🏽🚿💦🚽🚻

After the cyclone Gezani hit the east of Madagascar hard about two months ago, many are still left homeless and jobless.

Miary and her little family was one of them. Their home was completely gone. They had to return to their grandmothers village, in the mountains with absolutely nothing.

She however, on her first week back to her grandma’s village, decided to attend our Sunday worship with the biggest smile on her face, you would have never guessed what she was going through…

Thankfully, with the assistance of our friends/supporters, we were able to assist Miary to start all over again by providing all the supplies she needed to open a grocery store.

It’s been a week since it opened but it’s already doing so well.

Thank you for your continued support ❤️
