About Us
We train underprivileged youth into world-class software developers
INNOVATIVE MODEL
Onja is a social enterprise training underprivileged youth into world-class software developers.
We find the brightest students in Madagascar who can’t afford to continue their education, and train them in English language and software development. After just two-and-a-half years they are ready to work as remote front-end software developers in international tech teams.
Once in a job, our developers earn a good salary that helps them support their families and pay forward the opportunity to a new wave of students. They unlock exciting careers that fulfil their potential, and accelerate the development of their nation.

What We Care About
Love
We believe that love is the fuel to all good deeds and the essence to life itself. Love lets us put our mission before ourselves and have a meaningful impact that will burn bright long after we are gone.
This doesn’t mean love is always easy, and we know that love sometimes looks like making difficult decisions. But we try to have love in everything we do.

OUR SUCCESS
When the offer came to study at Onja, I had an opportunity to keep studying, find work, and help pay for the education of my siblings. I learned English and Software development which has enabled me to work remotely and communicate well with international teams. Now, my vision is to help other young people like me in the future.
