An Open Sky
for Every Woman
CIEL OUVERT is an empowerment initiative of Agape House Foundation creating dignified income opportunities for vulnerable women and young mothers in Antananarivo.
Each handcrafted raphia bag preserves Malagasy weaving traditions while opening doors to economic restoration, confidence, and long-term sustainability.
Every stitch tells a story of hope
The Women Behind
Every Stitch
Behind every Ciel Ouvert creation is a woman rebuilding her future. Many of the artisans are young mothers who have faced poverty, abandonment, unemployment, or social vulnerability.
Through training, mentorship, and dignified work opportunities, they are discovering confidence, developing professional skills, and generating income to support their families.
Each bag represents more than craftsmanship. It represents resilience, courage, and the determination to create a better tomorrow.
Rooted in Purpose
Natural Heritage
Crafted from sustainable Malagasy raphia fibres using generations of traditional weaving knowledge.
Empowerment
Every purchase directly supports women and mothers through dignified employment opportunities.
Timeless Craft
No two bags are identical — each piece carries its own texture and artisanal identity.
A Vision Taking
Flight
“It fills my heart with so much joy and pride to watch the incredible journey of the Snack N Math initiative as it expands its beautiful wings into Madagascar.”
Seeing this vision come to life in a way that nourishes both minds and bodies of children is inspiring. Through practical education, nutrition, and empowerment, families are gaining tools that help build healthier futures and stronger communities.
