The number of Malagasy children below 18 years is 10,640,922: ten millions six hundred and forty thousand nine hundred twenty-two! That is half of the whole Malagasy population which is 21,281,844.
Norway and Denmark’s whole population together would only give 10,191,880 which is 449,042 less than the Malagasy population under 18.
The median age, which is 18 in Madagascar, means that half the population is below this age, and the half is older. In Norway the median age is nearly 40 years, and in Germany it is 44.
Out of this facts from the world factbook (CIA), we can see that Madagascar struggles with many young people in need for education. Vakoka Vakiteny has distributed about 9,000 books. That means that we have reached only 0.08 % of the children!
