Sustainability
Our efforts at sustainability and creating real impact are four-fold
1. Educate and uplift rural girl children
Afri-Centric focuses on education as a means of creating sustainability, and plays an active role in the education and upliftment of rural children, in particular girl children. “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.” Nelson Mandela
We choose to work with mainly women-owned travel operating companies that employ female college graduates. When selecting local guides/experts to accompany travellers, our first choice is always a female guide.
Our long term goal is to create a fund aimed at empowering girl children from rural areas to realise their potential.
