== Brief history ==
''AkanyAvokoFaravohitra'' was founded in 1963 after the big floods in Antananarivo. It was set up to receive underage young girls (from 5 to 18 years old) to be cared for and educated for a limited period of time. The girls are placed by the judges at the juvenile court and it is them also who are consulted when the staff feels that a girl is ready to return to her family or is able to take her place in society. The children's home can accommodate about 40 girls. == What structures assure the life of the childrend's home? ==The FFPM (Federation of Protestant Churches in Madagascar) is in charge of running the children's home, the Ministry of Justice is responsible for protecting human rights and the Ministry of Population cares for the children's home and its work. Those three institutions are responsible for the supervision of the home. == Who benefits from the children's home? =='''Social Cases''' - young girls who are victims of social problems: abused children who have suffered mentally and physically, those who are lost, those whose character and behaviour causes problems in the family or society, those who refuse to go to school, those who run away from home, those who have problems with drugs, etc.'''Penal Cases''' - girls who are awaiting trial.'''Home cases''' - young girls (or young boys) who need moral and financial support to enable them to continue their studies or apprenticeships and who remain with their families. All Malagasy children who fall into one of these categories are taken in, with no discrimination as to faith or race or social class, but who agree to the conditions of education provided by the children's home.
