Zahana in Madagascar is dedicated to participatory rural development, education, revitalization of traditional Malagasy medicine, reforestation, and sustainable agriculture. It is Zahana's philosophy that participatory development must be based on local needs and solutions proposed by local people. It means asking communities what they need and working with them collaboratively so they can achieve their goals. Each community's own needs are unique and require a tailor -made response

The "Keshatot" (Rainbow) Center for autistic children functions as a kindergarten and a primary school, for 80 pupils ages 3-13. The goal of the Center is to enhance the children's ability to participate in mainstream society. A unique program is built for each child, integrating physical, emotional and academic activities. The students enjoy a variety of paramedical treatments on a regular basis. Some of these treatments are subsidised by the state (speech therapy, occupational therapy and emotional therapy), but other treatments are funded only by donations. As part of our determination to provide our children the best tailored treatment they deserve, The Keshatot Center enriches its pupils with extra curricular treatments that have proven their great positive affect on autistic children worldwide. "The Keshatot Children" foundation supports the school by providing funds for the extra treatments the children receive, along with providing "tech-aid", such as laptops and iPADS, "smart classes" (connecting the iPADs via wifi to an AppleTV and to 40" screens).
