Anjiro Initiative 2023 Fundraiser

Want to join us in making a difference? This is our 10th year fundraising for the community of Anjiro. This year's campaign runs from August 7- 21, 2023 and our goal is to raise $25K to cover schooling fees for 250+ students in the community of Anjiro and in new communities in the districts of Moramanga, Fianarantsoa, and Farafangana.

What is Anjiro Initiative?

Anjiro Initiative is a nonprofit organization run by local leaders in the farming community of Anjiro, Madagascar.

Social change requires communities to have agency over their own circumstances. Anjiro Initiative contributes to this outcome by partnering with families to provide education to the youth in rural Madagascar, while local heroes assume leadership roles. Learn more at AnjiroInitiative.org.

What Happens To My Donation?

Donated funds are granted directly to schools to cover the full cost of annual tuition fees for students at the primary, middle, secondary, and university levels. This amounts to an approximate cost of $100 for each student every year. For the University Program, donated funds are also used to cover the cost of university entrance exams and preparation courses.

While tuition costs are financed by Anjiro Initiative, Malagasy families cover the required expenses for books, uniforms, field trips, sports equipment, meals, lodging, living expenses, and other incidentals. These expenses typically add up to half of a student’s yearly educational expenditures. The hard work and dedication of local families and leaders, together with your support, is an effective partnership that yields results.

Is My Donation Tax Deductible?

Yes, Anjiro Initiative is a 501(c)(3) public nonprofit organization, so your contribution is tax deductible. Donors receive a tax receipt from the PayPal Giving Fund, a 501(c)(3) charity that receives your donation and then grants the funds to Anjiro Initiative.

Can I Donate Without Using GoFundMe?

Yes, you can donate by check, PayPal, and Venmo.

Any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.
