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/Geez 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.
