bonjour!
en fait je recherche des personnes ayant déjà fais de l'humanitaire sans spécialement d'expérience professionelle pour me donner des bon plan pour partir afin d'aider et de découvrir d'autres cultures et paysages.
je n'ai pas de bon plan à te donner malheureusement parceque je ne suis jamais partie pour faire de l'humanitaire mais j'ai dejà eu entre les mains un bouquin qui a pour titre "Guide du Voyage utile 2003" (tu peux le trouver sur le site de la fnac), c'est assez bien fait, tout ce qui est possible de faire est decliné par pays, avec le détail des missions, des adresses, etc.
Je ne sais pas si c'est le meilleur en tout cas moi je le trouve bien fait. Je m'en suis servie car il y a dans ce livre un volet conascré au voyage utile en terme ecologique, relation avec la nature.
Bonnes recherches en tout cas,
Hélène
Un bon conseil pour travailler dans l' humanitaire (j' ai fait ca il y a 20 ans) est de contacter VSO, Voluntary service overseas, une organisation Anglaise, qui envoie des gens dans une cinquantaine de pays, Voyage, minimum paye, assurance comprise. Grace a cette organisation je suis partit en Papouasie Nouvelle Guinee (en 1983) et j' aurais pu, mais pour des raisons personels pas fait, partir en 1985 au Bouthan. Acette epoque autre que les diplomats il n' y avait qu' une vingtaine d' expat qui travailles au Bouthan. Beaucoup de regret mais difficile d' expliquer les raisons dans un forum.
Les Pays sont en generale d' anciennes colonies Anglaise, mais aussi la chine la Mongolie etc... etc... Des pays de reve
salut!
je suis partie faire de l'humanitaire il y a presque deux ans en Equateur, toute seule du haut de mes 20 ans.
je pense qu'il faut que tu choisisses bien l'association dans laquelle tu pars, qu'elle soit serieuse et essaye de contacter des gens qui y ont déjà travaillé
loge en famille d'accueil, c'est le meilleur moyen d'avoir les bons plan, les conseils de sécurité🏴☠️, l'ambiance familiale....
essaye de partir dans une ville ce qui te permettra de découvrir l'aspect culturel du pays et puis de rencontrer du monde, mais surtout si ça ce passe mal dans ton asso, tu peux toujours trouver autre chose sur place
professionnellement, on ne peut pas savoir comment on va réagir avant d'être sur place. il vaut donc mieux se tester sur une courte periode de 2 à trois mois. perso je travaillais dans les quartier pauvres de Quito et il m'a bien fallu 3 semaines pour être à l'aise. après seulement je me suis sentie capable devoyager, de me débrouiller et de pas me laisser avoir. le plus dur c est le regard qui trahi tout. je suis parti là bas comme beaucoup d'entre nous en me disant que j'allais les aider mais je me suis sentie vite idiote parceq ue mes repères occidentaux de ce qui est bien ou non de faire, mes methodes d'animation avec les enfants, de rapport à l'hygiène....ont été balayé radicalement et c 'es teux qui m'ont appris à relativiser, à dénigrer le superflue.....
soit ouverte à tout, ne te choque pour rien
oublis qui tu es et d'ou tu viens
là bas rien n'est pire, rien n'est mieux, tout est différent

My question might seem a bit out of place in a "travel" forum, but I’m giving it a shot anyway.
I’m thinking about sponsoring a child in Vietnam.
After some online research, I’ve found a lot of organizations that offer this, but I’m struggling to make a choice.
Could anyone guide me in making my decision?
Thanks in advance and have a great day.

I’m a volunteer leader at a youth center (MJC), and we’ve been deeply moved by everything happening in Madagascar—extreme poverty, endangered animals, deforestation, and so on. Plus, one of our teens has a Malagasy friend, so our group wants to travel there next year.
Throughout this year, they’ve planned fundraisers to collect donations (sheets, dish towels, schoolbooks, hygiene products, etc.) and funds to cover their trip and stay.
They’re really motivated and generous—they already volunteer in schools and senior centers, and they’re always welcomed warmly.
But so far, they haven’t found any organizations in Madagascar willing to host them for two weeks (orphanages, schools, animal protection parks, etc.).
Does anyone know of any contacts, please?
Looking forward to your replies. Have a great evening!
After 8 months of volunteering in Tanzania at a center for street children, I’d like to go back for a year in the same kind of role—this time in Burkina. So I’m looking for contacts in this field, in Ouaga or elsewhere. I’m *super* motivated! It’s been over two years since I got back from Tanzania, and I’m starting to feel restless!
Thanks so much!!
Emmanuelle.
Solidafrica is a recognized humanitarian association of general interest. We donate wheelchairs in Africa. We currently have 2 wheelchairs that we would like to give to our partner, the Benin Handisport Federation. If you're traveling to Benin, alone or with someone, we could give you one of these 2 wheelchairs (or both). Out of the 40 kg of luggage you're allowed, a wheelchair will only take up less than half. Our partner can pick it up at Cotonou Airport...
Help us give away at least one of these wheelchairs, turning your trip into a solidarity and humanitarian action.
Don't hesitate to ask us for more information.

We've already done this through the VoyageForum site, and everything went very smoothly. We're present at departure from one of the Paris airports, just in case.
Hi,
I’m interested in humanitarian missions—want to explore and help others while showing my kids how things work elsewhere and pitching in.
Looking for advice.
Hello, we’d like to travel as a family to Madagascar (2 parents, 2 kids aged 10 and 12). A first trip over 15 years ago completely amazed and moved me with its beauty, kindness, and life experiences—but also its poverty and hardship. That’s why I think it’s possible to introduce our kids to this island while also doing something useful through volunteering. The window is short—15 days in March 2020—which means avoiding the north and east of the island due to cyclones and focusing on the south instead. Some ecovolunteering projects exist online, but the cost is sometimes prohibitive, and kids are rarely accepted. Do you have any ideas or contacts? Thanks in advance!
