The Tailwind Project
THE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM FOR WOMEN IN THE MASOALA NATIONAL PARK
Our TAILWIND (RÜCKENWIND) project supports 300 women in Andranoanala on their path to economic independence, basic medical care and social stability. Solid community structures are the guarantee for sustainable reforestation of the rainforest.
Every year 60 women from five villages receive special support. The selection is based on social criteria.

2. Allocation of starter packs: equipment, sewing machines, seeds, raw materials and premises
3. Veterinary service: treatment of animals and vaccinations
4. Setting up and establishing a savings system: based on the Village Saving and Loan Association model, self-managed saver model with a community-managed credit system (microcredits)
5. Improved access to medical care: advice, care, treatment, prevention and access to medication
6. Marketing: public relations, contact with dealers, promotional materials
7. Follow-up assessment: monitoring and evaluation
