‘As a result of these sand dams more children go to school’. Prof G C M Mutiso, Chairman SASOL Foundation, Kenya.
That is what we mean by making a difference!
£650 from each individual's contribution goes directly to the project, including money supporting the long term goals of the project. The local children don’t just disappear when the expedition ends and that is why we support the project with funding beyond your stay.
Working hand in hand (literally) with the Akamba people through their community initiatives to provide water for the local people cannot fail to make a difference. By joining one of our teams, mixing cement with literally hundreds of local volunteers, singing with the local school choir at Mikoni Primary School, digging terraces with farmers and fetching water with the women, every day involves making a positive impact.
Carefully selected projects are managed by Joshua, the inspiration for 25 years of water development in the area, with the input of the local community leaders and chiefs. By conducting small-scale non-invasive community based research, impacts of the projects are continually monitored and assessed to ensure that impacts are local, positive and appropriate for the community.
Staying in a community-owned house, buying from the local market, working with paid local co-ordinators, eating and cooking with the villagers everyday ensures that impact is kept local.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
