Violaine Autheman is organizing this fundraiser.

We are the Jessup team of the School of Legal, Political, and Social Sciences of Tunis, University of Carthage. On February 22, 2025, we won Tunisia's first-ever National Jessup Championship and qualified to represent our country at the international rounds of the Philip C. Jessup International Moot Court Competition, to be held in Washington, DC from March 29 to April 5, 2025.

Due to the U.S. foreign assistance freeze in January 2025, our sponsorship has been suspended. We have managed to secure our visas and housing in Washington, DC. Now, more than ever, we need financial support for our trip to and stay in Washington, DC for the purposes of competing in the international rounds and representing our country as the national champion.

Your donations will ensure that the great efforts made by our team in the last six months will not be in vain. Your donations will cover airfare, travel insurance, local transportation, and meals.

Here are some concrete illustrations of what donations would contribute to:

$4500 - Roundtrip airfare Tunis-Washington for our team (4 persons) and our coach
$950 - Meals stipend for one person for the duration of the stay
$450 - Airport transfers
$150 - Travel insurance for our team (4 persons) and our coach
$50 - Local transportation stipend for one person for the duration of the stay

We are forever thankful to everyone willing to help us and make our participation in the Jessup international rounds possible.
