I am passionate about helping people, especially children and individuals with disabilities. At Growing the Nation’s Therapy Programmes Madagascar, I use my expertise in mechanical fabrication and carpentry to design and create tools and devices that support those in need.
This work has enhanced my knowledge and skills while giving me immense satisfaction in seeing children regain functionality and independence through my creations. It’s rewarding to contribute to a cause that transforms lives and promotes inclusion in Madagascar.

I am here because God has planned it. I really enjoy working here because it creates opportunities to meet people, especially the parents of children with disabilities. Paying attention to them, listening to them, and saying some encouraging words to them all contribute to lightening their burdens. As a Jesus follower, loving them is part of my mission. I enjoy serving others because it is a love language. I am so grateful that God has given me the joy of working for this organization and for those who need care and assistance.
