Winner in the Responsible Tourism Awards 2008, Best Volunteering Organisation category and Highly Commended in 2007, we own our ground operation, which means we have complete control over the sustainability and integrity of our projects and the quality of the experiences we provide. We additionally subsidise our philanthropic objectives through additional funds raised by our Charitable Trust to ensure our work has real and lasting tangible benefits to the communities in which we work.
Our camps act as a source of local industry and employment. 100% of fresh produce and project materials are sourced from sustainable local suppliers and skilled workers are employed from the surrounding communities to assist volunteers with project work. Group sizes are kept small to reduce any negative impact.
Accommodation styles will vary depending on your programme and camp location. However, all permanent accommodation is constructed using locally sourced materials and is in keeping with traditional styles. Temporary camps are designed to create as little impact on the environment and natural surroundings as possible.
We provide and assist with the planting of cash crops that are indigenous to the area. As well as going some way to offset the carbon emissions created by travel, this is also a sustainable source of income for the communities. This project also protects the surrounding environment and its wildlife from more serious environmentally damaging practices such as excessive timber harvesting and oil palm plantations.
Beach clean ups and providing adequate rubbish facilities reduce the amount of waste going into the ocean. Teaching the importance of this practice and the value of the ocean in local schools helps the project become sustainable for the future. Teaching younger generations about pollution and keeping traditional methods alive through education is a big part of what we do.
The UK office is here to assist you with your booking and help you prepare for your trip. There is also a 24-hour emergency contact number that can be left with your relatives in case they need to contact you or us urgently.
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!
