Akany Avoko Faravohitra

Akany Avoko Faravohitra is a home for girls and young Malagasy women located in Antananarivo. The home was founded in 1963 after extensive flooding in Madagascar's capital. Over the last years, the large house standing high on a hill has fallen into disrepair. But since September 2015, Mrs Ivelohanta Randrianarimalala is leading a project to re-establish the home for the girls.

The name Akany Avoko Faravohitra can be translated with Akany meaning centre, Avoko is the name of a flower from Madagascar and Faravohitra is a suburb of Antananarivo.

After a lot of work and effort by Mrs Randrianarimalala and her team and supporters, the home officially opened its doors on 15th March 2016. However, the children's home still faces further renovation works and running costs. Therefore donations are very much appreciated. It costs about EUR 40 a month to sponsor a child for care, food, shelter and education.
