What we can do for you
Are you the kind of traveler who hopes to "be in the journey," not just sightsee? Who likes to make connections, not just tick off itineraries? Who wants to help and, in helping, would rather send yourself than just send a check?
You are why Kuchanga Travel offers very personal, participatory experiences to take in the wonders, challenges, opportunities and unique spiritual contours of Africa. Contact us today to learn more about opportunities for volunteering in a community, eco-adventure and safari trips, service learning, microlending and investment, and relationships with trusted local organizations. |
What you can do for others
Kuchanga Travel connects you with people and communities working to improve their lives. In the span of a week or two on the ground, your knowledge and skills can make a real difference. Teach, train, mentor, plan, build – and create lasting relationships.
You can fund a business startup with a micro-loan and help a local entrepreneur build the skills necessary to succeed. If you have your own dream or idea to pursue in East Africa, Kuchanga Travel can help you realize it via connections in the United States and Africa, travel packaging, logistics, and planning assistance! |
Upcoming Projects
Organic Poultry Farming in Uganda: Summer 2013
We are helping to get homeless kids off the streets of Kampala and bring them to live in the village and go to school. Side by side, with Kitenge Africa, we are helping all the school children in the village of Busomba. We now put our efforts toward helping build a sustainable poultry rearing project for the school. The fundraising has begun! Now it's time to decide how YOU can be part of the experience. Corporate Voluntourism
More companies than ever are developing volunteer programs to support employee engagement and corporate citizenship strategies. Prompted by requests from executives familiar with our work, Kuchanga Travel, the "Good Deeds, Good Times" specialist, now offers companies the life-changing experience of volunteering in Africa!
By applying their skills and knowledge in communities with great demand for economic, social and health investments, American professionals can make a palpable, profound impact while enjoying the sights and rhythms of African life. The results are incredible for both the host communities and volunteers. Learn more! |
