Add first reviewSince 1989

Madagascar is an island located around 400 kilometres off the coast of East Africa. It's well known for its unique flora and fauna, including iconic lemurs and baobab trees, as well as its diverse landscapes. Alongside incredible wildlife and scenery, the island offers plenty of outdoor adventures like hiking and watersports. Despite a growing tourism industry, Madagascar remains one of the poorest countries in the world. We work directly with local communities, placing volunteers in sustainable and impactful overseas projects. Volunteer with IVI to experience authentic, affordable, and life-changing programs in Madagascar. With over 35 years of experience as a charity and non-profit organization, we’re passionate about helping those less fortunate and creating meaningful change through responsible volunteering.
