Zagasyko is the short name.<\/p>\n

Currently one million Malagasy children are unable to attend school each year because of extreme poverty. According to United Nation reports, 75 percent of the population live below the poverty level. The UN reports that less than 40 percent of children who do attend school actually complete their secondary education.
\nMost of the students who are able to attend school cannot afford basic school supplies such as pencils and paper because of the extreme poverty rate. Therefore, the students must memorize their lessons.
\nYour donations provide funds to pay tuition and fees, plus provide a years worth of educational supplies for each child we serve.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” woodmart_css_id=”69b9d00b85aed” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2OWI5ZDAwYjg1YWVkIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfcm93IiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”no” wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″ row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”How the program works” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:61px|text_align:left|line_height:61px” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=””]\t\t

\n\t\t\t

Each child added to the program is assigned a mentor for the school year. The mentors are trusted volunteers, and each mentor provides each student in their group with school supplies for the year, and sees that the tuition and fees are paid. They also track how the children are doing through the year.<\/p>\n

The needs are great and the cost is small.<\/p>\n

The cost to send a child to school for one year is only $120 USD. Please help by donating toward sending as many deserving children to as you can.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]\t\t
