Faranah Goulamaly, founder of Feel Good Group, has received one of Madagascar’s national honors in recognition of her entrepreneurial journey and commitment to women’s empowerment.

On October 16, 2026, Faranah Goulamaly, founder of Feel Good Group, was awarded the title of Knight of Madagascar’s National Order (Chevalier de l’Ordre national Malagasy).

The official ceremony took place at Domaine Feel Good in Ambatolampy Tsimahafotsy, Madagascar.

This prestigious distinction recognizes her entrepreneurial achievements and dedication to creating economic opportunities. It also highlights her contribution to Malagasy craftsmanship and women’s empowerment.

For Les Ateliers Feel Good, this recognition marks an important milestone. Above all, it celebrates a vision built on people, craftsmanship, and excellence.

An Entrepreneurial Journey Recognized

Therefore, this national honor recognizes more than individual success. It also celebrates her long-term commitment to Madagascar’s economic development.

Women’s Empowerment at the Heart of Her Commitment
