The AanZet Maldegem project has been able to provide over 200 children with a carefree school year during the 2025-2026 school year, thanks to the financial support of 22 sponsors.

This is evident from the report for the 2025-2026 school year. AanZet Maldegem is an initiative by and for residents, organizations, and companies from Maldegem. They can financially support a child or young person in poverty with a donation of € 300 per school year.
This budget is allocated to school costs and meals, necessary clothing, and other essential expenses that contribute to the development of children and young people.
The proportion of children growing up in child poverty has decreased in Maldegem in recent years. AanZet makes a significant contribution and adds value to this, made possible by the support of engaged residents, organizations, and companies.
The project calls for continued participation: 'Do you also want to give one or more children in poverty a financial boost?'
