About us: Our Impact
TRAVELLERS AFRICA is a pioneer of impactful, affordable volunteer travel. We believe that travelers anywhere in the world should be empowered to make meaningful contributions to the communities they are visiting, and we take pride in making this happen.
Our volunteer programs enable socially-conscious travelers to have a meaningful impact, to foster cultural exchange and to expand their skills and horizons – this is TRAVELLERS AFRICA’s global purpose. We believe it’s important to monitor and transparently report on how we’re delivering against this purpose, so we’ve developed a comprehensive Impact Report to talk about the global impact that TRAVELLERS AFRICA and our volunteers have had in the last 12 months.
The report outlines the aims and objectives of our volunteer programs and summarizes some of the biggest achievements from 2018. This report also discusses the values and commitments that underpin our organization, and explains what makes TRAVELLERS AFRICA tick.
Some of TRAVELLERS AFRICA’s achievements from 2018 include:
- Helped volunteers to contribute more than 860,000 hours of support to community projects abroad
- Enabled volunteers to spend more than 210,000 hours supporting education and literacy projects
- Invested more $$$usd m in communities abroad through TRAVELLERS AFRICA Program Fees
- Grew our overall volunteer numbers to more than 100 since 20018
- Reduced our carbon emissions by 15%
What kind of skills you need to go these projects?
Initiative, enthusiasm and patience will be essential characteristics for any volunteer embarking on this project. You will need to understand the key aims of your project as a focal point for the broader community and be aware of the long term goals in order to appreciate the hands on work that this project will require.
Any specific skills that you can contribute, such as teaching experience, environmental issues, community health advice, counseling and sports coaching will be appreciated. Volunteers will need to be pro-active in instigating activities that they particularly want to get up and running as supervision and leadership may be fairly minimal.
Volunteers also get involved in extracurricular activities such as sports, drama & music. Volunteers have shared IT skills with the teachers, held seminars on topics including: health issues and reproductive matters alternatives to corporal punishment (which is formally banned but used at times), business skills, and public speaking and study skills.
