Help improve local infrastructure for small village schools and communities on the island and surrounding areas. You will assist with building and upgrading ablution blocks, painting, performing small construction tasks, carrying out repairs and general maintenance that make buildings safer, more functional and more attractive for those who use them.
Much of Madagascar faces a shortage of resources for community infrastructure so your work enables new and improved facilities to be completed and made available for community use as soon as possible. You may also help with transporting supplies by boat, so physical fitness, stamina and adaptability are important.
This program is ideal for volunteers who enjoy manual work, are open minded and ready for hard work in a tropical, humid climate....
