Mission

Zara aina is a malagasy phrase that means share life. Broadway actors lucas caleb rooney and bryce pinkham founded zara aina to help at-risk children expand their capacity for achievement through theatrical performance and storytelling. Established in 2012 with headquarters in new york, zara aina is a non-profit organization working with partners to develop sustainable programs that empower and change lives.

Programs

3 programs

Mobile Library: Launched in 2016 in partnership with the UK-based Vape Club, Zara Ainas Mobile Library project distributes useful books to rural villages across four regions of Madagascar. The books focus on practical knowledge such as ways to improve agricultural practices, family relations and health, environmental issues, sexual health, DIY and trades. In 2018, the Mobile Library continued to distribute seeds and fruit trees to participating communities, along with literature about care and cultivation.When the Library is not actively engaged in a tour, the van is used by Zara Aina staff to transport the Youth Company and Zara Aina oversees the overall operation of the Program and provides administrative support to Library staff.
