Our Approach

An ancient poem of unknown origin speaks to the Philosophy of Partners for Madagascar

Go to the People,

Live among them,

Learn from them,

Start with what they know,

Build on what they have,

But of the best of leaders,

When the task is accomplished,

Their work is done.

The People all Remark,

"We have done it ourselves."

The founders of Partners for Madagascar are of the people or have gone to the people. Our programs have been developed from the inside-out and adaptable to be locally transferable.
