From November 24 to 29, 2025, Jean-Claude Schuber (HSF volunteer) and Miary Ravelonjato (HSF employee in Madagascar) carried out a mission in Ambohimalaza.
The objective of this mission was to identify weaknesses in the current water supply network in order to enable optimized and sustainable management.

Despite existing infrastructure serving 8 out of the 12 fokontany, the current service is deteriorated:
-
Advanced deterioration: Significant leaks in the main supply and distribution pipelines.
-
Compromised quality: A malfunctioning filtration system.
-
Water shortages: Frequent service interruptions at the end of the dry season.

Our teams inspected the entire water supply chain: from the drainage field to the reservoirs, all the way to the 400 private connections and public standpipes.
This comprehensive diagnosis is an essential step in proposing appropriate technical solutions.
𝐇𝐒𝐅’𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭: to identify the most effective technical solution to restore continuous service and provide safe drinking water to the population of Ambohimalaza.
