Become an international volunteer in Madagascar and discover this beautiful and unique island in a whole new way.
Some people call it « the red island » while others call it the « big island », but all agree on how breath-taking the landscapes are.
Madagascar shelters a unique biodiversity and is one of the only place where new species are still to be discovered.
Thanks to its location between the equator and the cancer tropic, the island provides a wide diversity of landscapes.
Beaches of fine and golden sand, coral reefs, baobabs, savanna, aquatic jungles, this is what most of travellers remember of their stay in Madagascar.
Unfortunately, this country is not just a beautiful postcard, it also has harsh reality and overwhelming poverty.
The first victims of this problem are the children, with 50% of growth in malnourishment, a school system in decay and the closure of medical centres. The population needs help, amongst others from international volunteers.
