Hope For Madagascar, a 501 (c) (3) Non Profit Organization was born out of the desire of a Malagasy couple, Fanja Rakotonirina and Georges Raelisaona, both currently living in Boulder, Colorado wanting to find a way to help the poor and disadvantaged women and school children in Madagascar. 

​

They were later joined by a very dedicated American couple Joan Russell and Chuck McElwain who share their views and believe as well in the missions of Hope For Madagascar.
