Toliara Sands

Toliara Sands has been actively involved with community and social programs in the Tulear region for many years. Such activities include the establishment of womens' associations in the communes around the Ranobe minesite to run nurseries to produce seedlings for our ongoing rehabilitation program. Toliara Sands was responsible for bringing ADFA (Australian Doctors for Africa) to Madagascar some 9 years ago. This dedicated team of surgeons and doctors have changed the lives of many families within the Tulear region through their numerous visits and this work is ongoing with the support of Toliara Sands. The company also supports the local hospital and clinics to supplement the work done by ADFA. Toliara Sands provides support to the Mikea Association, specifically the local Bedo school with a focus on retention of their culture and heritage. The company has also led numerous other community initiatives and the company's community and social programs will escalate considerably once the Ranobe project is underway, including commitments that have been agreed to as part of the projects existing EIA licence.
