Defending the Defenseless: Safety & Medical Kits for Madagascar’s Peaceful Youth Protesters

The Problem: A Generation Thirsty for Justice

For years, the promise of a functioning society has been broken for Madagascar’s youth. Chronic, crippling shortages of water, electricity, and food, problems made worse by pervasive corruption, are not just inconveniences; they are a daily reality that strangles opportunity and hope. In a nation where over 80% of the population lives on less than $2.15 a day, an entire generation is growing up in poverty, watching their future vanish.

Driven by this desperation, young people, Gen Z students and their Gen Y allies, began to march peacefully. Their demands were not political, but fundamental: food, clean water, electricity, and a future. They carried signs that read, “We are poor, angry!”, “Stop Corruption!” their voices united in a call for basic human dignity.

The response was a violent crackdown. According to a recent UN report, the state met these peaceful protests with tear gas, rubber bullets, and live ammunition. As of today, at least 22 young people are dead and over 100 are injured. Yet, in the face of this brutality, a new determination has been forged. The Gen Z and youth of Madagascar are now uniting stronger than ever, vowing to continue their fight for a livable future. They will not be silenced, but they cannot face this violence alone.

Why We Need You: Support a Grassroots Movement

This campaign isn’t backed by political parties or special-interest groups; it’s powered by individuals: friends, family members, and anyone who cares about justice and safety for Madagascar’s youth.

The students and the struggling youth leading this movement have courage and strong voices, but they lack the resources to shield themselves from violent crackdowns on their peaceful protests. That’s why we’re turning to you, the global community, for help. Your donation will provide the means to defend their right to assemble safely.

By funding this campaign, you are NOT SUPPORTING A POLITICAL PARTY. You are PROTECTING A GENERATION'S FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO DEMAND A BETTER WORLD. You are defending the defenseless.

Why It Matters: An Entire Generation's Future is at Stake

The youth protesting in Madagascar's streets are the same students fighting to overcome an under-resourced education system, where fewer than two-thirds of children finish primary school. When they are injured, silenced, or intimidated, we don't just lose a protester, we lose a future teacher, engineer, or doctor.

Your support protects their lives today and safeguards their potential for tomorrow. By providing safety gear and medical kits, you ensure these young leaders can protest for their rights and return to their studies, building a sustained movement for a just and educated Madagascar.
