As part of its actions to support sustainable development for its host communities, Ambatovy financed – with up to more than Ariary 8 million – the rehabilitation of a public washhouse in Anjoma, Toamasina. As a result of a collaboration between Ambatovy and the FIMPIDEMITO Association (United Depot Vendors’ Association), this rehabilitated public washhouse accommodates around fifty washerwomen from various neighborhoods on a daily basis, including Anjoma, Androranga, and Dépôt Analakinina. After four months of rehabilitation work, the official reopening ceremony for this public infrastructure took place on December 28, 2016. It is one mean of helping the population improve both its working environment and its livelihoods.
