MADAGASCAR IN A WORLDWIDE FRIENDSHIP NETWORK
41 INTERNATIONAL
Since 2023, Club 41 Madagascar has been part of the international 41 Club network: friendship across borders, sharing experiences and supporting meaningful community projects.
↔WHO WE ARE
Friendship does not stop at forty.
41 INTERNATIONAL brings together national associations of 41 Clubs, mostly former Round Table members aged over 40. Its purpose is to keep alive the friendships made during the Round Table years and to develop lasting new ones.
Members meet across countries, exchange experiences and mobilise their network in support of local and international solidarity initiatives.
