About Us
Agazian Media Foundation, Inc. is dedicated to independent journalism and
advocacy, supporting the right to self-determination for the Tigrigna nation in Eritrea.
Our mission includes reviving the ancient Tigrigna/Ge’ez Orit/Torah heritage,
fostering Eritrean-American and Eritrean-Israeli relations, and promoting liberal
democracy, human rights, decentralized governance, and economic opportunities for
millions of young people in the Horn of Africa.
We work toward peaceful change and rapid economic development, focusing on
urbanization, industrialization, digitalization, and environmental efforts such as
combating desertification and promoting reforestation in Eritrea.
The Tigrigna people are the only Black nation with deep roots in the Judeo-Christian
civilization, practicing a unique blend of Judaism and Christianity. Predominantly
residing in Eritrea and the Tigray region of Ethiopia, they have historically served as a
strategic ally to major Western powers, including the Roman and Portuguese
Empires.
Eritrea, located in the southern Red Sea near Yemen (approximately 800 miles from
Israel), is one of the only non-Muslim, non-Arab majority states in the region.
Despite lacking internal or external threats, Eritrea remains one of the most
impoverished and isolated nations. Often referred to as the "North Korea of Africa,"
the country is cited by human rights organizations as one of the most oppressive
regimes regarding press freedom and human rights violations.
To support our mission, we are seeking an experienced and motivated Professional
Fundraiser to expand our fundraising efforts and secure critical resources for our
initiatives.
