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.
== How do they the children arrive at the home? ==
'''Social Cases''' - parents or guardians of the child contact the social services who bring the case to the judges at the juvenile court who thereafter investigate the case and decide whether the child should be placed at the children's home.<br>
'''Penal Cases''' - the judges at the juvenile court investigate the case and see whether a girl should be placed at the children's home while she waits for her court hearing, so that she can be protected and also so that she can be called for further investigation.
== What is the educational process? ==
'''For those who are accommodated at the home'''
* Reception of the girl sent by the juvenile courts.
* Finding her educational level (for further study or as preparation for work).
* Making visits to her home and family.

== How long will a girl stay at AkanyAkovo? ==
