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.

Sea-changers
(UK, 1142119) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Sea-Changers is a marine conservation charity responding to a marine crisis. Imagine if there was a turnstile on the sea and every time you went diving, for a surf, sailing or on a cruise you were somehow asked to give a pound, a dollar or a euro as a kind of entry fee and all the money raised was used to make a huge difference to marine conservation projects. Sea-Changers is a new charity that aims to do just that and raise money for marine conservation in the UK by creating a community of Sea-Changer businesses and individuals who will work together to raise money for marine projects. Our approach is simple. We know many people love the sea and love being able to practice their sport and leisure pursuits in, or by the sea. We provide these sea-users with quick and easy ways to give something back to the sea and make a difference to the marine environment by making small donations to marine conservation that when added together can make a BIG difference.

Uganda Conservation Foundation (UCF)
(UK, 1087295) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Achieving the balance – between human development and wildlife and habitat conservation – in a country with the world’s third highest population growth rate is critical. This is the aim of the Uganda Conservation Foundation. Working with the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), UCF aims to sensitise communities and demonstrate through practical projects how people can gain financial benefits from conservation. UCF’s current challenge is assisting UWA in the recovery of the 400km² Dura sector north of Lake George, where wildlife has literally been wiped out by poaching. The Dura project is an extension of the successful Waterways project, which is combating ivory poaching, bushmeat smoking, live animal trafficking and illegal fishing across Lakes Edward, George and Albert. Other successful projects include measures to reduce elephant crop raiding. Since the excavation of 30km trenches and erection of 13 elephant fences no retaliatory killings of elephants have been reported. Farmers are now harvesting their crops, allowing children to attend secondary school rather than guard crops, proving that simple low-tech solutions can make a massive difference to rural communities’ quality of life.
