Be Part of Building Real Change

In southern Madagascar, women and girls face violence, extreme poverty, and a severe lack of opportunity. We are working to provide a meaningful response on the ground, not only to urgent needs, but also to long-term opportunities.

What We Are Building

The Women's Shelter

The shelter already exists and is operating in southern Madagascar. It was established in January 2025 in partnership with TERATANY and provides a safe space and support for women and girls affected by violence, rape, and child marriage.

Its purpose is to create a framework that combines vocational training, digital skills, entrepreneurial thinking, and practical guidance, enabling women and young women in southern Madagascar to build economic independence and expand the opportunities available to them.

Today, in partnership with TERATANY, we operate the first women's shelter in Madagascar. At the same time, we are building toward the next stage: Cyclone Valley - a women's employment center and technology campus.
