The HoverAid Trust

Our Mission

HoverAid is a small, Christian, humanitarian charity, based in the UK & Netherlands working in Madagascar to reach the unreachable. We use hovercraft to provide impoverished people, living in remote communities, with Water pumps And wells, Sanitation, Hygiene education (WASH projects) and aid relief.
We also enable other organisations to expand their reach by using hovercraft to reach the unreachable; isolated communities who are simply too difficult, or too expensive to reach. We bring aid to remote communities, build trust with the people we meet there, understand their needs and tell others about the problems they face.

How we do it

Hovercraft are amphibious meaning that they easily travel over water, sand, mud and swamps, and crucially along waterways too shallow for ordinary boats. We are often the first, and sometimes the only, organisation to arrive after flooding disasters strike, simply because other vehicles cannot get there.

We are one of only two NGO’s licensed to deliver medical clinics in Madagascar and work closely with the Department of Health, Mission Aviation Fellowship and local pastors to facilitate clinics in many different areas. HoverAid provide a solution to inaccessibility for many river-based communities bringing physical, medical and spiritual support.
