- You can gift a donation for a birthday or wedding, etc, or ask for donations as gifts.
- And you can also volunteer in Germany or, if you are a doctor, through a placement in Madagascar.
Unfortunately, this is not possible at this time. In our experience, placements in such a remote region of the country demand a high level of training, experience and ability to improvise. To keep these placements as effective as possible, we only send fully-trained doctors with several years experience and a good level of French.
