Join other globally minded women, interested in meaningful and fun travel experiences that have the power to make a difference. Invite a friend or make new friends along the way. Together as a community of women travel beyond the sights as Ripple Effect Journeys introduces you to people (primarily women and girls) striving to improve their lives. Learn about the organizations empowering them to do so. Understand the challenges they face and champion the possibilities. The desire to be a partner for change may accompany you home.
That’s Ripple Effect Journeys – Travel with Impact!
A JOURNEY THAT SERVES rather than a SERVICE TRIP
Ripple Effect Journeys are designed for women who want their travels to make a difference. Unlike service trips that are about doing, travelers with Ripple Effect Journeys serve people in the amazing places they visit by:
* Listening to the hopes and dreams of the people they meet.
* Learning about the challenges people face when striving to improve their lives.
* Becoming a change-maker through understanding, partnership and empowerment.
* Promoting sustainable change in communities through tourism.
