Bonjour.
Je suis nouveau ici, je m'appelle Germain, j'ai 20 ans, et je reviens d'un voyage scolaire en Thailande.
Durant ce voyage, je suis tombé amoureux de ce pays, de ces temples, des gens, des paysages etc...
Je me suis mis en tete de vouloir repartir là bas, mais pas en tant que touriste. Je voudrais faire quelques choses d'utile.
J'en ai parlé a une amie voyageuse, qui m'a conseillé de faire des recherches sur les differentes missions humanitaires. (cet amie partirais avec moi). Le sujet à dejà été évoqué sur le forum, j'ai fais des recherches, j'ai lu, mais j'ai quelques questions à poser.
Je voudrais donc me renseigner sur les differents types de missions humanitaires, sachant que je suis ébéniste/menuisier de formation CAP/ BAC pro etc, je souhaiterais savoir si par exemple, il y aurait des chantiers qui necessiterait la présence de menuisiers...
Et savoir quelle est l'époque la plus judicieuse pour partir.
J'aimerais partir 1 mois pour une premiere fois. Je voudrais aussi savoir les choses à prévoir (vaccins, argent, logement, etc).
Ensuite s'il y des gens qui l'ont dejà vécu, j'aimerais bien discuter avec eux via téléphone, mail, msn etc
Je suis vraiment motivé pour faire ce voyage.
salut Germain,
je connais bien la thailande mais pas du tout ton secteur pro donc ma réponse ne sera que partielle
la thailande n'est pas un pays en voie de développement comme peut l'être le cambodge ou de nombreux pays africains.
Cela ne veut pas dire que ton aide est inutile simplement je pense que dans ton secteur il n'ya pas forcément de besoin mais je peux me tromper par contre en thailande il ya des gens très pauvres et des enfants désoeuvrés l'aide internationale intervient surtout à ce niveau là pour encourager la scolarisation des enfants ( minorités ethniques en particulier) et sur les soins des enfants sero positifs très nombreux maintenant et qui vivent un véritable drame pour pleins de raisons (pas uniquement medicales)
par contre sache que si tu veux être utile ce sera au niveau de gens très pauvres, donc de gens qui n'ont pas eu un cursus scolaire important et qui pour la plupart ne parleront pas anglais donc première chose fondamentale: apprendre le thai sinon tu ne pourras pas communiquer et tu ne seras pas très utile
que tu aies envie d'y retourner normal mais à mon avis commence par des voyages touristiques à l'écart des sentiers battus, apprend la langue et programme ton aide dans un deuxième temps cela me semble préférable et t'éviteras de connaitre les désillusions classiques des gens mal informés sur l'humanitaire
en espérant t'avoir orienté ( de par mon cursus universitaire et ma profession je connais assez bien l'humanitaire)
à +

Essaie de voir avec l'asso Développement sans frontières. Elle met en relation des personnes désirant faire du volontariat avec ses assos partenaires locales. Les missions sont personnalisées selon les compétences et les disponibilités des futurs volontaires. Généralement, les assos logent et nourissent les volontaires et le volontaire prépare son voyage par ses propres moyens.
N'hésite pas à visiter leur site www.developpementsansfrontieres.org où toutes les conditions de départ sont expliquées.
My name is Valerie and I live in France. I’m a street artist—I perform street shows that blend circus and clowning. I also work as a clown in hospitals and retirement homes in France.
I’m planning to spend two months in Morocco from January 19, 2027, to March 13, 2027. I’ll be traveling in a truck, so I’ll be mobile.
I’d love to offer my time as a volunteer to perform a show that’s suitable for all audiences (kids and adults) in village squares. I’d also like to visit hospitals and orphanages as a clown.
My route will start in Nador, then head down to Merzouga, before making my way to the coast either above or below Agadir. Toward the end of my trip, I’ll return to Zagora and Merzouga before leaving from either Nador or Tangier.
I already have contacts in Merzouga and Zagora. Next, I’d like to head toward the coast above or below Agadir, and I’m looking for contacts (associations, orphanages, hospitals) in that area or along my route.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

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!
