YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 1122852) abandofbrothers is a charity committed to personal development, community building and positive social change. The organisation was born out of concern at the continuing escalation of self-destructive and anti-social behaviour among young men from every section of society, coupled with the realisation that the only meaningful and sustainable solution is one that come from within the local community. abandofbrothers supports men (young and old) to build and live a positive vision for their life. We encourage and facilitate men towards developing a healthy connection to their communities through acting with the emotional literacy, confidence and respect that comes through healthy self esteem and self awareness. We are now operating in Brighton, Crawley and Eastbourne, working with vulnerable young young accross Sussex.
Azafady
(UK, 1079121) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00What is Azafady? Azafady is a charity dedicated to supporting the people and ecosystems of Madagascar, one of the biologically richest but economically poorest countries in the world. For the last 15 years the charity has run a variety of conservation, livelihoods, education and health projects in the southeast of the country, and all of its work is made possible through the support of volunteers visiting the region and getting involved. What can Azafady volunteers do? Azafady volunteers travel from around the world to help break the cycle of poverty and environmental degradation in this region through both community-based and research activity. The two to ten week placements offer volunteers a variety of projects including: Short Term Programme – For those with only a couple of weeks to spare we offer the opportunity to make a significant difference in just a short space of time. Whether you decide to work alongside our team on Project Sekoly helping to build a school in a rural area or join our Sustainable Development team teaching English, you can be sure that your contributions will be valuable to the community long after you have left. Azafady Conservation Programme – This exciting new programme offers you the opportunity to participate in a variety of modular courses in all aspects of our conservation work – from lemur study to tree planting, environmental education to floral biodiversity research – this is a great way to tailor your experience to match your own needs and interests. Placements can range from two to ten weeks in length and are available for both individuals and groups. Pioneer Programme – Join a dynamic team at the forefront of sustainable development and conservation work. For ten weeks you will be living with a group of international volunteers, working closely with local communities and experienced staff on an extensive range of projects. You will be contributing to vital humanitarian and environmental work at a grassroots level and may be involved in constructing schools and wells, planting trees, environmental and health education in rural areas, sustainable income generating activities and building fuel-efficient stoves. Why Madagascar? Whilst much international attention has focused on the needs of mainland Africa, the island of Madagascar rarely comes into the picture; as a result, small charities like Azafady play a hugely important role in supporting isolated Malagasy communities and their surroundings. Volunteers’ participation is the backbone to Azafady’s projects and without their continued support the life-changing projects that started over 15 years ago would come to an end. Madagascar’s extraordinary biodiversity is believed to stem from the island’s long isolation from other landmasses, with over 80% of its plant and animal wildlife found only on this island. This unique ecosystem is increasingly under threat. Poverty plays a large part in the damage to the country’s natural environment as more and more pressures are put on the land through unsustainable uses. Getting involved All Azafady volunteers spend time with the local community, explore the beautiful settings, and help to preserve Madagascar’s biodiversity for future generations. All take away memories and knowledge that will stay with them for life. Many Azafady volunteers find they want to continue supporting Madagascar on their return and the charity offers a variety of ways for volunteers to be involved. Volunteer programmes run throughout the year. Programmes attract a diverse mix of people - the only prerequisites to applying are that volunteers are over 18 and keen to learn more about Madagascar and its people. All volunteers are expected to pay their own pre-project costs (flights, visas, insurance) and raise a minimum charitable donation with the hands-on help of the UK team.
