Stay in the shadows of Victoria Falls in Zambia , go on safari in Botswana and contribute to award-winning projects, such as eco-bricking and gender equality. Support and encourage teenage girls, through our Girl Impact programme, to become empowered young women within their communities.
Our projects are developed alongside local communities to ensure the work we do is ethical, responsible, and relevant to the needs of their communities. Our teams live and work alongside these communities, which allows us to offer sustainable and transformative experiences that provide real value where it is most needed.
Victoria Falls Backpackers
You will be staying in a comfortable, private house located within the vibrant Victoria Falls Backpackers. You will have access to all the facilities, including a dining area, swimming pool, and even a rock-climbing wall. The Backpackers is conveniently located a short 5-minute walk away from the town center of Livingstone. The house has 24-hour security and individual lockers to store your valuables. Bedrooms sleep 4-8 people, with bunk beds in each room and there are bathrooms with hot water showers
GENDER EQUALITY
There are 16.7 million girls out of primary school education in sub-Saharan Africa, 9.3 million of which will never set foot in a classroom.
Work towards the UN’s Global Goal of Gender Equality in Livingstone . Through this initiative you can support, educate and encourage adolescent girls as they become empowered young women in their community. The Girl Impact aids in the development and education of girls between the ages of 10 and 18 – a crucial time when a girl’s future potential and opportunities can flourish through education, skills learning, and social support, or be stunted by the irreversible effects of child marriage, early pregnancy, HIV, and other preventable hardships.
45% of girls in Zambia are married at 18.
Educating women will, ultimately, allow them to live a more informed and safer life. Women who can access a quality education are more likely to be presented with choice, opportunity and prosperity. The best way we can achieve this is through the power of education.
Our projects, which are run year round and alongside the local communities aim to support the development of girls education.
