Nouvelle Planete: Solidarity projects and volunteering abroad

Madagascar

solidarity camps

Working on a construction site instead of chilling at the beach : during summer 2019, 103 participants of our solidarity camps made that decision. In Madagascar, a group is busy rehabilitating a school.

Senegal

Sustainable agriculture

Producing and consuming locally is the credo of the union of farmers of Boudié and its 28 groups. The development of 13 hectares of market gardens has launched a real "sustainable green (r)evolution".

Switzerland

Event

We are back at the Paleo Festival in Nyon between 23rd and 28th of July! Come visit us and try out our fun activities in a relaxed and festive atmosphere

Guinea

Economy

In the past five years, over 700 jobs have been created by processing rice, peanuts, cassava and palm kernels. Thanks to the new prospects for the local population, the temptation to migrate to the cities is waning.

Myanmar

Education

The program "promoting quality education" in the regions populated by Chin minorities allowed to enhance the conditions of 3'675 students.
