Pioneer Madagascar means that you will be living, working
and travelling amongst some of the most beautiful and remote
parts of Madagascar.
The
programme offers the opportunity to work in hands-on situations
alongside village communities with an international team
of experienced project leaders. Pioneers take part in a
range of practical construction work, conservation research
and educational activities as required by Azafady's projects,
which focus on health and sanitation, sustainable livelihoods
and conservation.
Pioneer

Azafady runs in the town of Fort Dauphin and in the surrounding
rural villages. You will be actively involved in many aspects
of our work, based at our research and development stations
scattered around the traditional fishing and farming region
of Anosy.
