Social advancement in Madagascar
Fianarana is a non-profit development project that contributes to the reduction of youth poverty in Madagascar's village community Fihaonana.
High rate of youth poverty
Youth from Fihaonana are not able to pursue education (university studies) after graduating from local high schools, which results in a high rate of youth poverty

University studies and career entry support
Fianarana adresses young people in need from educationally disadvantaged families who have graduated from high school in Fihaonana and would like to go to university.

Preparatory year
A good degree starts when education gaps are closed during the one-year preparatory year in Fihaonana.
Career counselling
As part of the preparatory year, the beneficiaries also receive personalised help in choosing a career and university.
Personal development
Qualified coaching encourages participants in the preparatory year to express themselves, their opinion and vision.
Study and living costs
All relevant costs are covered during the course, provided that the degree is completed within the specified period (3 years).
Shared accommodations
The students live in segregated shared apartments supervised by us in the capital Antananarivo.
Tutoring services
Access to suitable tutoring services and a renowned library expands students' knowledge.
Social work
Nomena, a studied social worker, and Manitra, a carer, look after our youngsters with great dedication.
Involvement of parents
Persons with custody are actively involved in the project and have to make their own contribution.
Organic food
The beneficiaries receive rice, vegetables, fruit, fish, meat and eggs directly from our organic farm in Fihaonana.
Data collection
We collect data and carry out our own surveys, which help us in particular with impact analysis.
Job application training
In due course, beneficiaries will learn how to write a good job application and conduct a compelling job interview.
Professional independence
Depending on the field of study, self-employment is meaningful and effective and is individually supported by us.
Lawyer, agricultural engineer or car mechanic instead of being affected by poverty
After just four years of support, the beneficiaries pursue a qualified profession that offers a self-determined life above the international poverty line. Engaged students are also supported for master's and, if applicable, doctoral studies.
