Elevatus Foundation

🏛️ A Journey into the Heart of Malagasy History
Last week, our 40 junior and high school students traded their textbooks for a day of discovery at the Rova of Antananarivo. 🇲🇬

For us in Madagascar, the Rova is our "Eiffel Tower"—a symbol of pride and resilience. After being closed for years following the fire, seeing it fully restored as a museum was an incredible experience for our scholars. In a country with so few museums, this was a rare and vital chance for them to see their own history honored.

Highlights of the day:

🏰 Exploring the beautifully restored Palace of the Queen.

👣 Honoring sacred traditions by entering the royal houses with the traditional fomba—shoes off, right foot first, and entering backwards.

🕊️ Reflecting on our national identity at the tombs of the former sovereigns.

At Elevatus Foundation, we believe that to lead the future, you have to know your past. We are so proud of how our students represented the foundation during this powerful cultural exchange.

A Day at the Rova Educational School Trip

It’s , and we’re fighting for childhood. In Madagascar, nearly 47% of children are trapped in child labor. Our mission is to give them their future back through education. We need to sponsor 10 children today. It only takes $25 to give one child a full month of school, meals, and safety. Can you be one of our first donors? Every $25 donation sponsors a childhood.

While protests have affected cities across Madagascar, life in the countryside remains calm. Our sponsored children continue their studies without disruption, and each received new school supplies to begin the year prepared and hopeful.

This summer, Elevatus Foundation launched our very first computer literacy program during Summer Camp 2025!
From typing lessons to sewing workshops and creative recycling projects, over 40 children gained new skills and confidence.

Empowering Dreams Rinah, Asnah, and Rondro's Journey

The Elevatus Foundation is proud to announce we will begin construction of a youth community center just outside of Antananarivo, Madagascar in early 2024! The youth center will serve students from all schools Elevatus is currently partnered with - providing trade classes, such as sewing, coding, and carpentry; hosting organized sporting events; and serving as a safe space for students to spend their time outside of school hours. The youth center will help us serve more students than we can reach by partnering with schools alone. And, most importantly, it will provide students with a marketable trade skill by graduation, increasing their future opportunities and reducing their and their family's insecurity.
