Breaking the cycle by empowering future

Did you know that 40% of children in Sub-Saharan Africa aren’t in school? Even for those who make it through to grade 12, less than a third can demonstrate an understanding of their course material. This means many young people enter the workforce with limited literacy and numeracy skills, making it tough to find well-paid jobs. Simply put, there's a huge gap in education, and it’s holding back entire communities. That’s why we believe in giving Southern Africa’s youth a chance to finish their education. With support, these kids can break the cycle and make a real difference in their families and communities.
What we believe
Changing the
status quo
status quo
We believe in the power of community and in helping each other whenever we can. We also believe that travel companies need to do more than just make a profit. That’s why we’re on a mission to change the status quo.
Of all the causes we could support, we’re certain that investing in education is the most impactful. We know these kids face huge socio-economic challenges, and it’s our job to make sure those challenges don’t stop them from completing their education. We’re here to make sure education changes the future of Africa, one child at a time.

What we Do
Creating a

It’s simple: we share. A portion of every booking goes directly toward sponsoring a child’s education, supporting them through school. We do this by partnering with incredible foundations who are already doing amazing work on the ground.
They handle the day-to-day, and we provide the funding. Together, we ensure that more children get the opportunity to finish school and create a brighter future.

How We Work
Making a measurable difference
We partner with trusted foundations that have years of experience in making change happen. They take care of the logistics, the operations, and the selection process. We provide the funding, and they do the rest. We’re meticulous about choosing children with huge potential who just don’t have the means to complete their education. There’s a formal selection process, and we ensure that the contributions from our Sereni Tribe are used in the most effective way possible.
And, of course, we promise full transparency. If you ever have questions, we’re here to chat about our work and how your travel makes a direct and measurable difference.
