For 30 years now, Father Pedro has deployed all of his energy in the hopes of offering the habitants living in slums located in Tananarive a brighter future.

In 1989, Father Pedro, shocked by the conditions of life the children of Tananarive were faced with, decided to embark on a lifelong project: build houses, schools for families directly living in slums and create employment opportunities thanks to the construction of a new hostel. He thus created the Akamasoa association, and together with the locals, worked on building villages in the area to relocate those families living in terrible conditions. Break Poverty has decided to support this project and to commit itself beside the Akamasoa association.

The project of the Akamasoa association

A few numbers in 2019:

22 villages

324 schools

3038 houses

25 000 habitants

End of 2019: beginning of the hostel's constructions

2021: opening of the hostel

The project: Finance the construction of a room

After the construction of houses and schools, Father Pedro and his association decided to embark on a new adventure: train and offer jobs to those habitants still located in slums. For this, he had the idea to open a hostel in the heart of Tananarive, employing people from the village. Not only that, but all the profits made will be given back to the community.

The hostel will be composed of 25 rooms with an original, colorful and modern decoration. This hostel aims to offer tourists a calm and spacious place in the heart of Madagascar. It is also an eco-friendly hostel, notably seen by the construction of solar pannels. Furthermore, water and electricity, which are already scarce resources in Madagascar, will be limited to avoid overconsumption. Thus, there will be no television in rooms and water in showers will be limited.
