Intrepid seeks adventure travellers for a cause
Intrepid Travel is urging travellers to sign up this month for the few remaining places on the Kili Climb or Camino de Santiago Challenge and help raise funds to fight gender inequality.
The two fundraising trips are part of Intrepid Travel’s three-year gender equality initiative, Project SAMA, to support the education of girls – around 53 million girls in developing countries are denied access to primary school.
In joining the Intrepid Kili Climb or Camino Challenge, travellers are committing to fundraise $1500 for early education projects in Uganda and Laos run by Plan International.
"Committing to one of these trips is a significant way in which our travellers can make a difference for females in the developing countries we visit, not to mention the immense satisfaction in conquering such a challenge." said James Thornton, Intrepid managing director.
In taking on these challenges, travellers will add to the $150,000 already raised for Project SAMA.
Intrepid Travel’s Project SAMA is currently in its third year of raising awareness around the importance of gender equality and raising funds for projects around the world that address gender inequalities, including eight Intrepid Foundation community projects focused on education and health programmes for women and girls – www.intrepidtravel.com/sama
To take on one of these challenges, travellers must register by May 30. Places are limited.
