Pioneer Madagascar has been set up by Azafady, a registered UK-based
charity (no. 107121) and Madagascar-based NGO. Through Pioneer Madagascar,
volunteers can experience working with a grass-roots organisation
combating the problems of extensive deforestation and extreme poverty
on this unique island. The programme focuses on integrated conservation
and development initiatives which work closely with the Malagasy
people. Each scheme lasts 10 weeks, places are limited and approximately
75% of the costs go directly to running the projects.
During placements volunteers will learn to speak basic Malagasy
and gather skills relevant to working in the field of development,
conservation and sustainable livelihoods. Our projects are led by
some of the most competent conservationists and development workers
on the island; they are based on communities' expressed needs and
therefore provide an insight for volunteers into real on-the-ground
work - they are not set up simply for volunteers. Volunteers will
work on an extensive array of projects from beach surveys of endangered
turtles to the building of wells
