Since the beginning of the adventure, OSO® has been working alongside the “Fondation École de Felix”, which is recognised as being in the public interest.
This Fondation works to combat poverty by improving access to education and health for disadvantaged people, both in Madagascar and in the Mascareignes region.
Thanks to OSO®, more than 900 pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds benefit from free schooling in Madagascar. These children, from the age of 3, are supported throughout their school career up to the BEPC, and those with a passion for cooking also have the opportunity to continue their studies with a CAP Cuisine.
The Institut d’Excellence Culinaire Guillaume Gomez trains and guides young people in the professions and values of gastronomy, giving them access to quality jobs.

The OSO®️ estate is actively committed to sustainable development and the well-being of local communities.
Two drinking water supply systems, stretching over 14 km, have been installed, ensuring reliable access to drinking water for the surrounding population.
In the village of Ampampamena, an exemplary system for the selective sorting of municipal waste has been introduced. This innovative system significantly reduces environmental pollution, limits health risks and helps to prevent pest invasions, thereby helping to create a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone.
Established to offer comprehensive healthcare services to the entire population of the Ankarana, the 2 health centres include a maternity ward and a pharmacy.
These health centres, which are entirely free of charge, are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, providing continuous care for everyone, including the estate’s employees.
Thanks to these facilities, the region’s inhabitants have uninterrupted access to high-quality medical care, considerably improving their quality of life.
The OSO® Estate is 3,917 hectares, including 1,000 hectares of mangrove trees, a true natural treasure in the heart of Madagascar.
