Get Involved Azafady has a number of unique and challenging volunteer placements in Madagascar. Whether your passion is sustainable community development or vital conservation work, Azafady can offer you an unforgettable experience. Whichever programme you choose you will be benefiting from Azafady's extensive experience in Madagascar with each scheme led by an award-winning team of project coordinators. No particular skills are required to volunteer with us and training is given locally but if you do have particular experience in areas relevant to your programme then this will enhance your contribution. Volunteering with us could help you choose a new direction in life or develop a career path you may already be on. It might be both a personal highlight and a practical stepping stone in a gap year or, for anyone at any time, a great way to go abroad for much more than just a holiday.
