Go2Africa is proud to work with and support a fantastic collection of independent, innovative and inspiring community development projects. We are committed to playing our part in building an inclusive and prosperous future for all – where travel spend has a tangible, positive impact. It’s a win-win for once-in-a-lifetime experiences while contributing to education, community empowerment and infrastructure in the places we visit.
To help us deliver positive impact to local communities we have established long-term, collaborative partnerships to create meaningful change for the people of Africa. We assist in equipping schools with learning materials, building resources and nutrition for students, as well as providing scholarships for secondary and tertiary institutions with invaluable mentoring programmes. Go2Africa is also involved with vital HIV healthcare initiatives for women and children in need.
We don’t want to just give back, we want to empower, and it’s woven into the fabric of everything we do. The way we travel today will empower the communities of tomorrow and leave a lasting impact for a caring world.
