Besides
working for the environment through tree-planting and
a range of conservation initiatives, we aim to directly
tackle poverty through income-generating activities
and by giving access to sanitation, clean drinking water
and basic healthcare. To combat cholera and other potentially
fatal water-borne diseases we install wells and pharmacies
(each well costing about £600, each pharmacy £750),
train community health workers and highlight to villagers
the crucial benefits of latrines.

Azafady has
a project headquarters in Fort Dauphin Madagascar, employing
30+ Malagasy staff, and a London base employing two
staff - from where we manage fundraising and our promotional
& educational programs. We are proud to be able
to state that 90% of all our donations go directly to
support our charitable aims, and we constantly work
to ensure that our administrative costs are kept as
low as possible – we don’t spend money on
glossy brochures or fancy offices! |

In Britain
and in Madagascar we work with students & researchers
at many levels - providing help, support, information
and logistical assistance. Volunteers working from our
office in Madagascar have recently represented Spain,
Italy, Canada, Reunion, Wales, England, Scotland, Ireland,
Denmark, Holland, France, USA and Australia. Most of
our facilities and field stations, when not in use for
research or projects, are open to the public for tourism. |
