The Dodwell Turst Charity Profile

The Dodwell Trust – a registered UK charity, was started in 1995 by Christina Dodwell to help the people of Madagascar.

Alongside Mitondrasoa – the Malagasy NGO created as local partner, the Trust's chosen field is in family health, education, and sustainable development through Malagasy radio, and Volunteer schemes.

Our small but well-trained Malagasy team carry out the production and national broadcast of radio programmes, in long and short series, the longest lasted 3 years and won the hearts of 10 million listeners.

To assist the participation of listeners, our team set up and trained 1800 groups throughout the country, using wind-up/solar radios donated to the project. These groups, the first of their type in Madagascar, provide monthly feedback about the issues. Our goal is to reduce poverty by:

improving the ability of young people to play a positive role in sustainable development, and to improve their capacity to communicate with the English-speaking world about development issues;

improving the capacity of grass-roots individuals and communities to achieve leverage and generate revenue.
