Ahead of International Women’s Day (IWD) on Friday (8 March), the adventure specialist will lend its support to Nepal’s Kirtipur Community Homestay – which is run by indigenous women – as well as El Manglar restaurant in Guatemala, founded by the Cayo Quemado Women’s Committee to create new employment and training opportunities for the community.
The other three projects include the Ban Ou Community Tourism project, which offers travellers culinary experiences such as noodle-making classes as well as the Lady Tuk Tuk Driver Association in Cambodia and female-led artisan cooperative Mujeres Artesanas Zoologico Magico in Oaxaca.
