Nobel Peace Prize for Father Pedro ?

Nobel Peace Prize for Father Pedro ?

He is again nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.. Anyway, he totally deserves it. He is the Slovenian Prime Minister, Janez Janša who proposed his candidacy this sixth time.

He turned a mountain of rubbish into a village of hope for the street poor of Tana. They are now twenty-five thousand to have regained human dignity in Andralanitra.

In any case, he has the charisma to win this award. It meets all the criteria. It contributes to bringing people together, it brings together and propagates progress for peace. And the most important, he deserves this award.

Father Pedro Opeka has done a lot in the fight against poverty, fountain of peace, since his arrival and his installation, There are 50 years. He has made countless achievements in Madagascar, with the humanitarian association Akamasoa which he founded in 1989.

He did, more than any head of state has done for the poorest.

A week after his arrival in the capital, a March 1989, as he visits the sick in the suburbs, he discovers the city dump. There, he comes face to face with a thousand children and parents who live on a mountain of garbage and fight over their food among dogs and pigs.

At the same time when he is confronted with this apocalyptic image of the decay of the human being in extreme poverty, one thing is said, it's that here he has no right to speak, we must act.

Without him knowing what to do precisely, he is determined to return to this hell to bring out the families and especially the children who live there.

The results of his actions are there. Four thousand dwellings are built, including a hundred built per year. They serve as accommodation for garbage pickers at the garbage dump site in Andralanitra and other poor families.

Fund raising

He built hundreds of schools, including a university, always for the benefit of the poor. Then, he lifted twenty-five thousand people out of poverty. And he educated fifteen thousand Malagasy children.

His battle is not limited to his proteges on the hill of Ambohimahitsy. On the occasion of the celebration of his 50 years of service in Madagascar, en 2020, he invited companies in Madagascar to raise funds to help drought victims in the South. And he was able to collect sixty million ariary, sent to the target populations.

Father Pédro has already received several recognitions and honorary distinctions. The most recent is from 2019. The President of the Republic Andry Rajoelina raised him to the rank of Second Class Grand Cross, during the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the Akamasoa association, in the month of September 2019.

The current head of state is the only president to have demonstrated his recognition for the efforts that this religious leads in Madagascar to help the country fight against poverty. He was by her side, since the Transition. It is at the church of Father Pedro that the Rajoelina family celebrates Christmas and other Christian holidays., alongside the proteges of this religious. And he supports him in his actions. He has, in any case, facilitated the acquisition of state land to expand the project of Father Pedro Opeka.
