Description

These beautiful little vehicles (cars, scooters, motorcycles, and bikes), planes and helicopters are manufactured in Madagascar. Handy craftsmen make them with lots of love and creativity out of old tin cans. All vehicles have a super magnet glued to the bottom side. Each vehicle looks different - depending on which tin can was used. Please note that you receive a randomly selected vehicle. We cannot consider any colour preferences. The African Animals fridge magnets are also artfully made from tin cans.

By purchasing one of those one of a kind pieces, you support two good causes:

First of all, we pay a fair price for the little piece of art that is considerably above the local standard trade price. In addition to fair wages the workers and their families receive medical and accident insurance. This is a valuable add-on for workers in Madagascar.

Secondly, our profit from selling these little works of art will be donated to the project 'Kinderhilfe Madagaskar - Zaza malagasy', which helps finance schools in rural areas of Madagascar.
Supermagnete provides the magnets, packaging and brochures (included) for this article free of charge, so in the end, the entire sales price goes to Madagascar.

A few impressions from the workshop in Madagascar.

The tin pieces are cleaned, cut, shaped with hammer and pliers and soldered.

The purchase of the tiny vehicles was carried out by the company MIDOBODOBOKA, which specialises in the distribution of fair trade products from Madagascar. They financed and built a new workshop for the production of these MadagasCAR articles. Approx. 30 workers were trained for that purpose.

The project «Kinderhilfe Madagaskar - Zaza malagasy» is lead by two Swiss kindergarten teachers. None of the donations are used for administration; 100% of them benefit the children. Regular trips to Madagascar are financed by the initiators themselves.

You can find more information on these projects on the website «Kinderhilfe Madagaskar - Zaza malagasy».

Thanks to you, we have already been able to donate 25 000 Swiss francs to the relief organisation “Zaza Malagasy” since the sales launch in 2013. For each MadagasCAR magnet, we donate 7 Swiss francs to the relief organisation and an additional 5,50 Swiss francs per item go to the manufacturer in Madagascar.

Your purchase helps better the lives of other people. Thank you!
