Our Why

We passionately believe that education is the cornerstone of a brighter future. In Madagascar, where only 15% of teachers are licensed and just 32% of pupils complete primary school, there’s an urgent need for transformative education. At Kintana Institute, we stand for healing, building trust, and cooperation. We champion the creation of a truly diverse, inclusive, and equitable society, recognizing that this requires active engagement from all, particularly those who hold the most power. We are committed to embarking on a never-ending journey of eliminating our own discriminatory biases, both conscious and unconscious, and becoming aware of our power and privilege. Through this journey, we aim to truly see, trust, and welcome all those who are different from us.
