Help us make maths go further.
From one classroom in Hell-Ville to an ambition to reach young people across Nosy Be. Meet the people behind Mathagascar and find a way to get involved.
OUR STORY
Started with an idea. Built together.
Mathagascar was founded by Neil Nichols and Nathan Stapley, with help from Neil’s family, and set up in collaboration with Learn Achieve Become (LAB).
The idea was simple: create a free, engaging course to equip teenagers with the maths and business skills they can use in everyday life, work and future opportunities.
LAB is a UK-registered charity supporting communities through free education and sports initiatives, with established educational projects on Nosy Be.
