CANAL26

More than a magazine, CANAL26 is an invitation to see Madagascar differently. Its pages meet the women, men and children who live along the Pangalanes canal. Reportage, field notes, photographic portfolios and testimonies.

A subscription makes the reader part of the project. The proceeds help Ensemble pour les enfants de Madagascar run the Ambodimanga school and support the boat still to come.

Each issue is a bridge between the image and the commitment.
