Solidarity and responsible trip is no longer just a concept, but a true dynamic which transforms the rural territories of Madagascar. L'THIS RELIEF is part of this vision by placing the inclusive development of village communities at the heart of its actions. In a country where a large part of the population lives in landlocked areas and essentially depends on subsistence agriculture, the integration of sustainable tourism opens up new economic and social perspectives, while respecting culture and the local environment.

The sector of Tourism in Madagascar represents a major lever of growth, but its impact can be unequal when it does not benefit the basic communities directly. Saha Telo and its partners, such as Malin Madagascar Tour, work for each tourist project to become an empowerment engine. The approach is based on the development of local know-how, village reception, training of young people and the creation of shared infrastructure. It is a way of replacing humans at the center of development, while valuing the natural and cultural wealth of the island.

A concrete example is the village of Aragnana, located on the east coast of Madagascar. This village is at the heart of the social component carried per turn clever Madagascar and supported by Saha Telo. We will find the project there Building, a large community house that will offer unprecedented access to knowledge: a library, an internet connection, training and exchange spaces for the inhabitants. This place will also serve as solidarity accommodation for volunteers and travelers engaged in responsible tourism. Thanks to this model, the community will directly benefit from the economic benefits of tourism, while developing its own skills.

Inclusive development is not limited to the economic aspect. It also includes environmental protection, preservation of traditions and promoting equal opportunities. Saha Telo supports initiatives in permaculture, reforestation of native species and craft training, so that populations can diversify their sources of income and strengthen their resilience.

Engage in a Solidarity and responsible trip in Madagascar, it is therefore to contribute to a virtuous circle: to offer an authentic experience to travelers, while strengthening the dignity and autonomy of rural communities. Through its actions, Saha Telo demonstrates that tourism can be a powerful engine of sustainable development, provided they place solidarity and inclusion at the heart of priorities
