How FOKO came about?
FOKO’s mission FOKO wants to help Madagascar by bringing the world’s attention to Malagasy people. When often biodiversity and lemurs are in the spotlight, FOKO wants to focus on the Malagasy people and make them a crucial factor in their unique and threatened environment. FOKO’s goal is to help the Malagasy people improve their quality of life without destroying the Forest while taking into account biodiversity.
How FOKO came about FOKO was born a few days after TED Global conference: “Africa the next Chapter” , when TED Fellow Andriankoto and his fellow bloggers Mialy, Lova, and Joan decided to push further their cyber activism by banking on their talents with the FOKO project to contribute ideas that will support Madagascar’s development.
Our strategy folds :
ICT development
Healthcare
Sustainable Architecture
