Who We Are?

Our Mission

Mizara Initiative is a youth-led, non-profit organization based in Madagascar. We’re all about creating meaningful change by Malagasy youth, for Malagasy communities. Our journey began with a simple belief: that young people have the power to transform their environment when given the opportunity, support, and voice to lead.

We go where no one ventures

We work across Madagascar, especially in townships and remote areas where help is needed most. From school support to sports, food programs to eco-tourism, everything we do is centered around building stronger, more resilient communities—one youth, one village, and one act of kindness at a time.

What We Do

We turn compassion into action—season after season.
Our work at Mizara Initiative is rooted in the everyday realities of Malagasy life, and we tailor our programs to reflect that. Here’s how we make an impact across the island

Community Engagement & Solidarity

” At Mizara, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Our programs evolve with the seasons and adapt to the needs of each community. Thanks to the generosity of our donors and the passion of our volunteers, we’re turning ideas into action and hope into reality.”
