Intrepid’s Travel for Good Campaign Surpasses Goal
A few weeks ago, Intrepid Travel launched its Travel for Good campaign in hopes of donating $150,000 into four grassroots projects supported by The Intrepid Foundation.
The small group adventure travel company committed to donating 10% of every trip purchased to projects helping in the fight against malnutrition, energy poverty, animal welfare and human trafficking in their communities.
Thanks to the support of travellers and several generous donations, Intrepid not only achieved, but surpassed their goal.
The projects supported:
Kusimayo: Kusimayo improves the living conditions of children and adults affected by poverty and malnutrition in one of Peru’s poorest regions, the high plains of Puno.
- Provided 1,000 healthy meals to preschoolers
- Has insulated and modified 92 homes to help fight the cold
Blue Dragon: Blue Dragon’s primary aim is to rescue kids from danger, reunite them with their families when possible, and provide all the services needed for recovery and growth.
