Making a difference through travel.
We solicit donations from vendors involved in our trips, such as hotels, airlines, and transportation services. These contributions can be monetary or in-kind, such as cash, blankets, or toiletries.

WORKING TOGETHER
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.
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.
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.
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.
At TheTravelJunkeesCares, we believe in transparency and accountability. Here’s how your generous donations are allocated to make a real impact in the lives of travelers and the communities we serve.
Below is an example of how your donation will be allocated using a $1000 donation.
