MANDANIRESAKA

In Mandaniresaka, a rural and peri-urban community in the Vakinankaratra region of central Madagascar, families primarily rely on subsistence agriculture, small-scale livestock farming, and local trade. Many parents, engaged in growing rice, maize, beans, potatoes, and vegetables, struggle with low and irregular incomes, making it challenging to afford school supplies, fees, or transportation for their kids, some students often walk 5 to 7 kilometers to attend Lycée Mandaniresaka.

Since 2025, Anjiro Initiative has partnered with the Mandaniresaka community to launch a scholarship program supporting the students of Lycée Mandaniresaka. Developed in collaboration with dedicated local teachers, administrative staff, and community-based volunteers, the program covers tuition, school supplies, and other essentials to ease financial burdens. Transparent sign-up events and a community-led selection process ensure equitable access, fostering the community’s strong spirit of solidarity and commitment to empowering its youth to pursue education through high school and beyond.

Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference in Mandaniresaka. Please consider making a secure donation through Zeffy below to empower a student's future today:
