The project

The Construction and Renovation project aims to build and renovate buildings that are important for the growth and development of the small local communities in Nosy Be. You will get an opportunity to work alongside the local people on renovating, building and beautifying schools and community centres, public libraries and playgrounds. Your creative talents will contribute to a more aesthetic environment for the local community and improve the surroundings of the marginalized and underprivileged sections of the island’s communities. Working together with a local coordinator who will guide you and train you, you will join the local families and other participants in laying bricks, doing carpentry, painting, water proofing, laying tiles, landscaping/gardening and improving the community’s hygienic and sanitation facilities.

Explore this beautiful island nation while adding value to the quality of life of the local adults and children through construction and renovation.

The location

Madagascar is one of the last major landmasses on Earth to be colonized by humans and it a rich and colourful country which has a unique ecosystem. The island’s separation from Africa due to a cataclysmic earthquake has allowed it to undergo different evolutionary processes allowing many life forms to change little if at all over the course of millions of years. The first settlers found plentiful resources of food when they first arrived on the island, as well as almost no predators and an abundance of wildlife. 

The dense rainforests are the natural habitat of over 100 exotic species of animals found nowhere else on Earth including lemurs, dwarf hippos, giant tortoises, ten-feet tall elephant birds and many more. Madagascar’s first inhabitants were settlers from Indonesia, Arab and Persian traders and migrants from Africa who arrived at different times and although they lived in tribes, avoided segregation. Thanks to their coexistence and fusion, Madagascar has a beautiful and remarkably uniform society the result of a unique synthesis of race, language, religion, and traditions.

Attività del tempo libero

The Nosy Be Archipelago is a magnificent location off the north-west coast of Madagascar, with many islands and unique beaches offering stunning snorkelling and diving opportunities. Nosy Be is not overly touristic and rather relaxed with its sugar cane and vanilla plantations, rum distilleries, ylang ylang bushes and lounging lemurs. Visit the colourful markets, take a boat journey to the islands, enjoy a hike in the tropical forests and explore the Malagasy culture. Many restaurants are awaiting you to explore a variety of cuisines. Nosy Be is a charming location worth discovering!

Who we are

Global Nomadic empowers positive change by connecting people with projects

Global Nomadic was founded in 2008 with one clear goal – to empower change by connecting people. We believe real change can only come about when people are able to find the right opportunities with the right organisations. Over the past years, we have grown to offer high-quality international internships in a wide range of professional fields, but our aim is still the same; connecting people with projects.

We provide aspiring young professionals with exactly what is needed to set them apart in the very competitive world we live in. We exist to help you further your career through educational international work experience placements, but also to help NGOs around the world carry out their community-building work, by connecting them with you. By working with local NGOs, charities, and communities you will gain excellent experience and valuable skills, aiding you to further your ambitions – whilst making a difference where it’s needed most.

This world is not a perfect place – and we don’t claim to be able to fix it. But what we can do is provide a bridge between you and the people who can. Our mission is to work towards a better and more stable world by connecting people with projects. We believe we work better together than apart. We believe travel and exposure to other cultures, beliefs and ways of life are the best ways to achieve this. We believe you can travel the world and travel your career.

What we do

We provide access to vetted, worthwhile international internships in a wide range of professional fields.

We work in a range of different fields from veterinary medicine and environmental conservation to journalism, public health, business development and education – matching you with reputable, worthwhile organisations around the world. Unlike many other volunteer organisations, we have personally visited and vetted our project partners, to ensure you a safe and worthwhile international experience.

We also choose to only work with partners whose projects contribute to their local community in a sustainable manner. We do not support, nor advocate orphanage tourism or irresponsible wildlife conservation projects. Our aim is to help our project partners focus on their core work by offering an easy way to find committed interns and volunteers to support their daily activities.

Our volunteers

Global Nomadic is a trusted community meeting space connecting people with NGO projects around the world.

We also offer helping you to source and organise the best flights, insurance, visas and all the many other things you will need before you reach your project destinations, including country guides, packing lists and much more! We want to make sure that you have the volunteering time of your life.

Global Nomadic personally visits all volunteer sites to ensure a quality experience for volunteers. You will receive support before, during and after your placement.
