Driven by an unshakeable faith and a determination to help those most in need, Father Pedro Opeka, a Lazarist priest, devotes his life to transforming the lives of Madagascar's marginalized populations. Founder of the Akamasoa association, he has given thousands of Malagasy people access to decent housing, education and healthcare.
