Join the Cause

Empowering Nairobi's Communities

In the heart of Nairobi, many communities face daunting challenges. Limited access to clean water, sanitation, healthcare, and education creates a cycle of poverty and social inequality. We believe that every traveler can make a difference, and together, we can help break this cycle.
By partnering with local and global organizations, we aim to address these urgent issues head-on. Your contributions, whether monetary or in-kind, can provide essential resources to those in need. Imagine the impact of a simple blanket or a hygiene kit in a community struggling to meet basic needs.
Let’s work together to empower these communities for a brighter future. With your support, we can create sustainable solutions that not only alleviate immediate hardships but also foster long-term growth and resilience. Join us in making a meaningful change today!

WORKING TOGETHER

How It Works

01

Research and Vetting

The Travel Junkees Care Travel Team conducts thorough research on potential opportunities for giving back in the countries we visit. This involves checking official documents, websites, and references to ensure that donations reach those truly in need. We have a robust network of contacts in various countries to help us identify the best donor opportunities.

02

Traveler Participation

Travelers are informed about the chance to participate in specific projects in the destination countries. They can choose to contribute an additional $10 to $20 per month to their travel installments, which will go towards these projects. This contribution is optional, and all donors will receive a tax receipt for their donations.

03

Virtual Presentations

Brandy leads virtual presentations to explain the nonprofit arm of each trip, detailing the specific project and its impact. This information is also available on our website and social media platforms.

04

Project Specificity

Each trip is associated with a specific service project. For example, during a Kenya Safari trip, travelers might visit the Kaberra Slums, where they will distribute school supplies, toiletries, and monetary donations to families and teachers.
