GAP YEAR VOLUNTEER PROJECTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND RADIO INITIATIVES IN MADAGASCAR
 
The Dodwell Trust – a registered UK charity, was started in 1995 by Christina Dodwell to help the people of Madagascar. Alongside Mitondrasoa – the Malagasy NGO created as local partner, the Trust's chosen field is in education, family health, and sustainable development through Malagasy radio, and Volunteer schemes.
 
Our goal is is to reduce poverty by:-
 
Improving the ability of young people to play a positive role in sustainable development, and working through education and radio to help individuals and communities to achieve leverage and generate revenue.
 
The Dodwell Volunteer programme allows you to help the country reach towards its goal of teaching the children to speak English, for a future of improved communication with the English-speaking world concerning eco-tourism, trade and development.
