About us

VONIFANJA, a collective ambition for Madagascar

A Malagasy association of unlimited duration, founded on 28 March 2026 in Andoharanofotsy, serving the communities that request its support.

Origin and meaning of the name

VONIFANJA stands for « Vondron'Olona ho amin'ny Nofy Iombonana »: a group of people united around a shared dream.

The name expresses the very essence of the association: the conviction that great change happens when people share a vision and decide to act together. The motto « Miara-mientana, Miara-mandroso » — united, moving forward together — is its concrete expression.

History and founding

The VONIFANJA association was founded on 28 March 2026. Its head office is at Lot IB 421, Andoharanofotsy, Antananarivo 102.

It was born from its founding members' wish to give their commitment to Malagasy communities a collective, lasting framework.

Our mission

VONIFANJA's purpose is to contribute to the governance and development of the communities that request its support.
