Written by the company

Onja is a social enterprise transforming lives through code. We train underprivileged youth into world-class software developers and connect them with international tech teams. We find the brightest students in Madagascar who can't afford to continue their education and train them in English language and software development. After just two and a half years, they're ready to work as remote front-end developers with international companies. Our developers bring fresh perspectives, strong problem-solving skills, and dedication that comes from life-changing opportunity. Companies partner with us to access skilled talent while creating sustainable employment in emerging markets. From rural Madagascar to developing software for global companies – our graduates prove that talent is universal, but opportunity isn't. We're changing that, one developer at a time.

A clear recommendation as strong and long-term partner

We've been in partnership since early 2024 and the collaboraion has been consistently reliable and professional throughout. Even with complex systems and completely new technical domains, our devs were able to integrate into our team and get up to speed. They bring a strong sense of ownership and taking initiative that we really appreciate. We've seen clear growth in both their confidence and their impact in driving ongoing development. Sarah and Jerome are not external resources, they are a part of us and we are grateful to have them. Growth Manager, Ahmed has been nothing but attentive, professional, and easy to talk to. We confidently recommend working with Onja

Onja developers are a pleasure to work with!

I had the pleasure of working with the Onja team a few years ago on the launch of an app for a volunteer-led charity.

Their developers were skilled, professional and highly motivated. They were all a joy to work with.

Onja are a fantastic organisation with an impactful social mission, I highly recommend working with them!

Driven, hard-working and impactful

We had a great experience working with a four developer from Onja: Prisca, Manjaka, Noeline and Tantely.

They were professional, quick to adapt, eager to learn, and hard-working. They took care in their work and were very receptive to feedback.

We also deeply appreciated partnering with a mission-driven organisation and their commitment to social impact.

The two developers that we hired from Onja were brilliant. Why? Because they learnt on the job, they were super grateful to have the opportunity, the worked hard and clearly cared a lot about their role.

Finally they were lovely to work with :)

Thumbs up from creative CEO

We worked with Onja to place the amazing Kati on our dev team, where she learned, grew, and innovated for more than 2 years. It was a wonderful experience and we love Kati forever. Onja is super straightforward to work with and kind of just hums along in the background.

Great experience with Junior Dev.

I worked with Onja for over two years, and it has been a great experience. First, because of the company’s honest and human mission and vision, which foster a trustworthy relationship with the organization—driven by professional and caring people. I always felt that Onja was part of our company too. They genuinely cared and did everything they could to support our development in the best possible way.

Secondly, their commitment and well-organized structure stood out. The presence of mentors and a legal team made both the contractual aspects and the additional support needed by junior developers efficient and smooth.

Overall, I’d say we had a very positive experience—what one can expect when working with a junior developer (in our case).
