Our mission is to alleviate poverty and conserve unique and biologically rich but greatly endangered forest environments in south east Madagascar by empowering some of the poorest people to establish sustainable livelihoods for themselves and improve their well-being.

We are proud to be able to say that 87% of all our donations go directly to support our charitable aims and we constantly work to ensure that our administrative costs are kept as low as possible. Our approach is one of partnership with local communities as we work to alleviate poverty and support environmental conservation. Our integrated sustainable development initiatives support some of the world's most vulnerable people in threatened and irreplaceable environments.

All of our projects are sensitively built around what are directly expressed to be the most pressing needs of marginalised communities. We have over 12 years of project experience in south east Madagascar and during this time have developed strong working relationships with the local population, maximising their participation in all stages of project development, design, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

SEED Madagascar is a recognised regional specialist in capacity building at the community level (empowerment, information, education and training, advocacy) and it is estimated that over 100,000 people have benefited from our projects over the last decade.
