Since the start of our adventure, OSO® has been working alongside the Fondation École de Félix, which is recognised as being in the public interest.
This foundation is dedicated to fighting poverty by improving access to education and health for disadvantaged people, both in Madagascar and in the Mascareignes region.
OSO® actively supports the Foundation École de Félix, which fights poverty by facilitating access to education and health for disadvantaged populations in the Ankarana National Park region and in Akamasoa, the village founded by Father Pédro Opéka in Madagascar.
At present, almost 900 pupils from the age of 3 are benefiting from this support, which follows them through to the BEPC and, for those with a passion for cooking, the 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.
We have installed two drinking water supply systems, stretching over 14 km, guaranteeing reliable access to water for the surrounding populations.
In the village of Ampampamena, an exemplary system of selective sorting of municipal waste has been introduced. This innovative system significantly reduces pollution, limits health risks and helps prevent pest invasions, thereby helping to create a cleaner, healthier environment for everyone.
Established to offer comprehensive care to the entire population of the Ankarana, our two health centres include a maternity unit and a pharmacy.
These centres, which are entirely free of charge, are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, guaranteeing continuous care for everyone, including the estate’s employees.
Thanks to these facilities, the region’s inhabitants have constant access to high-quality medical care, which considerably improves 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.
Biodiversity flourishes in all its splendor, sheltering an exotic fauna and a flora unique to the world. From playful lemurs to delicate orchids, every corner of this domain celebrates the magic of nature. With its endemic fauna and flora, our biological domain is rich in a biodiversity unique to the world.
OSO® ️ is committed to preserving Nature, the mangrove and all associated plant species, protecting ecosystems and developing conservation plans on our biological domain and throughout the Northern region of Madagascar.
30 full-time team members are dedicated to protecting the environment – in particular the mangroves – of our organic estate in Madagascar, as part of our ambition to offset our carbon footprint.
Since the creation of OSO®️, more than 1.5 million trees have been planted.
