Tambazy (26) is from Sakalalina, east of Ihosy. Married to Saholy, he has a five-year-old child. Since 2023, he has been working in the quarries following the climate crisis in his home village. Tambazy, his small family, and his parents moved to Morarano, where they built small huts for shelter. To improve work in the quarries, collectors provide Tambazy with equipment such as generators and hammers to work more efficiently. Profits are shared after deducting expenses and equipment rental. Tambazy works three times a day in the quarries: in the morning, afternoon, and evening, sometimes late into the night. Headlamps are used for night work.
