Ando Razafiaritsara: Using arts to promote gender equality

by Thursday, 10 March 2022

African Leaders for Africa (or ALFA) is a non-profit organization aiming to implement feasible activities and to create positive impact on the Malagasy and African communities.

ALFA is a joint initiative of alumni of leadership trainings who decided to work together for a fairer future. Later, the organization grew and hired other professionals and passionate colleagues. ALFA is now involved in various fields including environment protection, education, health and hygiene, youth empowerment, and entrepreneurship.

Through a few projects, ALFA committed itself to fighting for inclusion, empowering the most vulnerable, transferring skills and knowledge through trainings, and using art to convey messages for sustainable development.

This month, besides its book focusing on environment and climate change, ALFA uses arts once again to sensitize about gender equality and

We are using arts once again to sensitize about gender equality and to promote sustainability through recycling. We are convinced that artworks and handicrafts are suitable business and entrepreneurial projects for women and young people. Thus, from March 8-11, we organize the "OMEO AINA VAO", a collective art exhibition at Villa 13 Cité Perrier Ampandrana. Sculptures, paintings, plastic arts, jewellery design, leather products and music, poetry and slam performances will be showcased during the 11-day celebration.

Finally, ALFA is working on a short footage video to promote gender equity and women empowerment. We are looking for partners and sponsors to make a bigger impact.
