We are launching a new Clean Water Lemurs team for the 2023 Tour de Gem!
Here’s what the Lemurs are raising money for:
Water filters to prevent waterborne diseases that kill children – 307 at $14 each
Ecological stoves to prevent exposure to deadly fine particulates – 307 at $25.50 each.
All donations, minus credit card fees, go to the team non-profit. To sponsor our team or sign up as a rider, visit our page. Registration costs $35 for adults through Aug. 31, then rises to $50. Children under 12 ride free, and youth 12-17 can register for $15.
The results are impressive
Here are health statistics from this most recent Model Healthy Village project completed in August, 2022 in the village of
Analamalotra, with 818 households and 4,280 residents.
– The annual rate of infectious diarrhea declined from 60.71% when the project began to 5.45% at the end of 2022. – The rate of respiratory disease fell from 48.4% in 2019 to 7.45% in 2022. – School absenteeism declined from 14.82% in 2019, just before the project began, to 6.66% at the end of 2022.
It is clear that the water filters and smokeless ovens contribute to a huge improvement in health status and school.
The stoves, which are built by local women and installed by masons in the community, are popular with moms in Tamatav. Here, a homeowner shows off her cooking during Caring Response Madagascar’s visit last summer.

Donations to the Lemurs go to the all-volunteer Caring Response Madagascar Foundation (CRMF) via the Dayton Foundation.
Thank you so much for your help last year in raising over $8,000!
