Background and figures as recorded in the CIA World Factbook.
Madagascar was one of the last major habitable landmasses on earth to be settled by humans. While there is some evidence of human presence on the island in the millennia B.C., large-scale settlement began between A.D. 350 and 550 with settlers from present-day Indonesia. The island attracted Arab and Persian traders as early as the 7th century, and migrants from Africa arrived around A.D. 1000. Madagascar was a pirate stronghold during the late 17th and early 18th centuries and served as a slave trading center into the 19th century.

They are different things, done by different entities, and one is never a route to the other.
Roarcry · the church
A donation to the congregation. It is not repaid, earns nothing, and carries no claim on anything. Roarcry is not a registered 501(c)(3), so give as a gift rather than for a write-off.
A gift named for Madagascar is a restricted gift: recorded against Madagascar and spent there. If it cannot be spent there within a year it is pooled into the general fund and spent wherever it is needed most. That is a term of the gift, said here so that giving is agreeing to it.
Investment Fund, LLC · the issuer
A subscription for Class B units. It is at risk, it is not tax-deductible, it is not a donation, and you can lose all of it. Open only to verified accredited investors.
One fund covers every country on the map, on one set of terms. No country has its own vehicle, its own minimum or its own return.
The church is not the issuer, not a guarantor and not a party to any subscription. No donation to the church confers any interest in the fund.
This site publishes no safety assessment of its own. Conditions change faster than any page, so these link to the governments that issue advisories and revise them.
