We are dedicated to ensuring that everything we do is carried out in a responsible way. All the projects that we operate are run according to our strict ethical policy which has been created according to guidelines set down by Tourism Concern.

The definition of responsible travel varies, but for us it is about having a positive environmental and economic impact on the places we visit and a social-cultural exchange with the people we meet.

We pride ourselves on the close personal partnerships we have developed with our project partners in Kenya. We ensure that all work carried out by our mentors is requested by our partners and maintained and supported after the assignment finishes.

We are not interested in 'quick fixes' such as sending groups overseas to paint murals on classroom walls. Our projects have clear short, medium and long term physical and financial goals.

All of our staff have personal experience of the countries that we work with, and we regularly visit our projects to keep up-to-date with developments. We are dedicated to ensuring that we provide a first-class, personal service to you, your employees and our partners overseas.

We use local accommodation, employ a local workforce, buy local food and support local businesses to enhance our impact on the community. We always aim to pay what is a fair price rather than seek out the cheapest deal. We integrate into the local community, supporting it wherever possible.

The long-term support we give to our projects enhances local pride, breaks down divisions, attracts tourism and creates enhanced, sustainable livelihoods.
