Dear friends of JHA,

As we step into 2026, I want to take a moment to say a heartfelt thank you for being part of the JHA journey.

Sit back for a couple of minutes and enjoy this short video recap of JHA’s successes in 2025. It captures moments from the field, the people behind the work, and the milestones your support helped make possible. From new classrooms deep in the countryside to first-time visits by villagers to the ocean in Antalaha… from teacher training to transforming schools… from environmental stewardship to food support; none of this happens without you.

As we move through 2026, we do so with gratitude, optimism, and a continued commitment to thoughtful, community-driven work.

Wishing you a healthy, peaceful, and meaningful year ahead.

With gratitude,

Joey Moscovitch
JHA Fund

Result: kids stay in school, teachers feel backed and learning sticks.

Schools & Infrastructure

-Concrete floor where there used to be dirt

Result: dignity, safety, cleanliness and spaces that last.

-Environmental field trips
-Creative projects

Result: pride, responsibility and connection.

Presence on the Ground

-Follow-ups, monitoring, accountability
-Supplier visits to support sustainable vanilla practices

Result: small team, strong oversight = real impact.

When Life Hit Hard

-Funeral support
