Please consider donating to the following organizations that we have worked with or have contributed towards through our trips:

Charity Travel

Charity Travel is a travel referral business that donates its entire net profits to Empowers Africa. We refer our clients to tour operators who agree to have a significant portion of their commission go to charitable programs in sub-Saharan Africa. With no additional costs to the traveler, our partners share their commission with us, and we donate the net proceeds to Empowers Africa to support programs in the areas of human empowerment, wildlife protection and land conservation in sub-Saharan Africa.

Through our portfolio of vetted travel companies, we will connect you with the ideal agent to book anything from a long weekend in Paris to an African safari to an immersive trip to Japan or to see the northern lights. We have hand-picked each company to ensure that they have both a proven record of providing transformative travel experiences as well as commitment to sustainability.

Patara

We are delighted to introduce Patara as one of our corporate partners, a travel brand that has designed three espadrilles with animal designs to benefit elephant, leopard, and penguin conservation in Africa. Twenty percent of the proceeds generated from this exclusive collection will be allocated directly to conservation initiatives of the featured animals showcased on the shoes. By supporting this limited release, you not only acquire a unique and stylish piece but also contribute significantly to the welfare and protection of these incredible creatures, fostering a meaningful impact on wildlife conservation.

Patara focuses on improving time-tested designs for a new generation of globetrotters; providing responsible alternatives with maximum utility that allow travellers to be lighter and go further. Unlike traditional espadrilles, which are notoriously unsupportive, the Seeker and Nomad designs are as comfortable as a pair of sneakers. Patara have deconstructed and rebuilt the canvas shoe with an athletic fit and eco-friendly materials, while keeping a casual aesthetic. In addition, Patara has a strong commitment to the environment and is a certified B Corp.
