  • Our team is based in Hell-Ville, the main town of Nosy be, living in the centre of the hustle and bussle means we’re close to the local market, cafe and street food vendors. Not to mention a bar or two for an evening drink.

  • Our knowledgeable staff team work together to design YOU a bespoke project that ensures you get the most out of your volunteer abroad experience. The local people are at the heart of what we do. Meaning throughout your time in Madagascar you will touch the hearts and minds of many. Increasing aspirations, skills and knowledge for the local people. Bringing smiles and hope for many, ensuring brighter futures for all.

  • Our Founder & CEO Chloe Lingard will be there to meet you at the airport and ensure your experience in Madagascar is one like no other. Chloe first landed in Madagascar in 2019 and discovered a never ending love for Madagascar and the island of Nosy be. Alongside a incredible team of Malagasy locals together they deliver our 4 projects and cannot wait for you to join them.

  • Upon arrival at Fascene Airport you will be greeted by one of our in-country team and taken to community house. Then your introductory week will begin, you’ll meet the team, learn your way around the town, learn basic Malagasy and prepare for the weeks ahead.

STILL NOT SURE?

We know deciding whether or not to volunteer abroad and which organisation to go with is a big decision. If you’re still not sure, book a discovery call with us. You can ask all the questions you want with no obligations!

What volunteers are we looking for?

  • Photographers/Filmmakers

    You will be making aspiring photographers dreams come true by sharing your photography skills. There’s plenty of incredible views both on land and at sea. Be prepared to be creative as cameras are scarce!

  • Business Students/Graduates

    The covid-19 pandemic and recent cyclone has left many people homeless, jobless and in need of money. We are hoping to begin micro-financing businesses and need people with some business knowledge to help the locals do it! Marketing and selling online isn’t the norm - so be prepared to put your selling skills to the test!

  • Teachers

    Training to be a teacher? Studying English, Creative Writing or have a TEFL qualification? Sounds like you’re ready to put your teaching hat on. Join our local Malagasy English teachers in the classroom, where you can gain international teaching experience, work with a variety of ages and abilities.
