Welcome to our page!
Our founder Johanna Ravomanana is honored to officially announce the launch of our fundraising campaign.
This year, we aim to broaden our impact by training and supporting more young baccalaureate holders in rural Madagascar so that they can continue their higher education.
We don’t yet have a center.
Help us raise $5000 to rehabilitate a house in Ambohimanala and transform it into an inclusive space for our young people.

Did you know that ...
Poverty rates are particularly severe in rural areas where a majority of the population resides. Young people in rural areas do not have access to higher education. This results in lower literacy rates, limited opportunities for suitable employment, and leads to the broken social elevator.
UCY is an association based in Malaho, Bevalala, Antananarivo – Madagascar.
Since 2021, we have been selecting and supporting around ten young baccalaureate graduates from disadvantaged backgrounds in Antananarivo.
OUR GOALS
- Increase the number of youth in academic retention
- Teach them to build resilence through a faithful life
- Guide them to be influential community leaders
To achieve this, we organize training workshops lasting 3 months. By the end of the training, participants are generally in a position to make choices that are more aligned with their academic and career paths. The young people we accompany learn to overcome their blocking mentalities and define clear objectives to prepare for their future. We also collaborate with other organizations that provide French and IT courses for our young people.
At present, our courses are held outdoors. This is often restrictive, especially during rainy periods. However, renting training rooms in town represents a significant cost.
Help us raise $5000 to rehabilitate the house that will become our center and bring change to Madagascar!
