William RANDRIAMIARINA – MfM Country Representative & Mary’s Meals Programme Manager

Hello, I am William Randriamiarina. I graduated in private management from Antananarivo University – Madagascar. I co-founded the Miarintsoa Association AMI in 2000 and have more than 20 years of experience in the management of development projects and in the WASH sector.

AMI has been representing MFM in Madagascar since 2016. The mission and vision of MFM and AMI for Madagascar perfectly match together. I am happy to work as part of the MfM -Madagascar team to develop and grow an exemplary programme that achieves maximum benefit for the Malagasy population.

What I love about working for MfM is the openness and overwhelming understanding of the MFM trustees and executive team as well as the commitment of donors and partners and the dedication of our experienced Malagasy delivery partners  who take their lead from the dynamic communities where we work. This deep understanding and connection to communities enables us to frame our projects to meet the REAL needs of the Malagasy population.

My passion is to work for the socio-economic development of Malagasy people. My hope is that MFM expands its actions to reach as many communities as possible, while contributing to the preservation of the environment. As we say in Madagascar  “tao-trano tsy efan’ny irery”, meaning, no one can build a house alone. So Madagascar needs a dedicated and understanding partner like MFM to help Malagasy people to drive their own development and conservation. The MfM-AMI team stands steady to achieve this common vision of lifting Madagascar out of poverty.

Mbolatiana RANDRIAMIARINA – Monitor and Technical Assistant

Hello, I am Mbola.  I studied at the Institut Supérieur Saint Michel Itaosy Antananarivo and have a professional bachelor’s degree in entrepreneurship management.  I joined Miarintsoa Association in 2008 and held the position of Assistant to the Director of Operations since 2010 to date.

What I like about working for MfM is the close relationship with the partners.  During the thirty six years of presence in Madagascar, MfM has been able to establish a strong built-in trust and family relationship with its implementing partners and this exceptional relationship considerably facilitates the supervision and implementation of projects in the field.

MfM’s vision is also so relevant for Madagascar.  I wish to bring a positive contribution to the realization of this vision, for the benefit of the most vulnerable Malagasy population.
