To have
the opportunity to participate on Pioneer Madagascar,
we ask volunteers to raise a minimum donation of £2,000. This is made up
of £500 initial deposit, which secures your place
on a scheme, and a balance of at least £1,500
is due three weeks before departure. Funds generated by the Pioneer program support Azafady's projects in Madagascar, with some 90% of all donations to Azafady being spent in direct pursuit of our charitable aims. |

We are
here to help and support you in raising this donation
and have a wealth of fundraising expertise and facilities
available to potential Pioneers, including Pioneer fundraising
manuals, raffle tickets & official collection boxes.
You are of course welcome to simply pay the minimum
donation from your own funds, although we do hope that
by fundraising, Pioneers will assist us to raise
awareness about the threats to the people and environment
of Madagascar.
Most Pioneers raise their minimum donation within
about 2 months having all sorts of fun on the way, with
sponsored activities, charity raffles and events!
Other 'pre-project' costs including flights usually
come to £1,000 - £1,500 plus pocket money
of about £250 for the ten weeks (more if you plan
to travel independently before or after the Pioneer
scheme).
