Terratribes charity program

From before we even came up with a name for Terratribes we decided that we would commit a portion of all revenues to charitable action to give back to the local community - This means that 2% of revenues go to charitable action. This is implemented through a separate side of Terratribes called Terratribes Charity. Being local people we are all too aware of the socio-economic and environmental challenges that China faces as it economically re-emerges and so at least half of our projects/contributions go to support local youth with at least 50% having a focus on sustainable relief of poverty and environmental protection.

Giving back to our local communities and the communities in which we operate our programs is also an enduring focus of our regular operations be it through subtle actions with school groups or the way we encourage tourists to interact with local people. We have also committed ourselves to developing more community service opportunities either as a trip focus or component of a multi-focused trip for our International School clients. The first two areas where we are developing programs are in Northwestern Guangxi province and Sichuan. These two areas both have stunning and threatened natural environments and challenging economic situations: for Guangxi being rural poverty and for Sichuan being the rebuilding of communities following the tragic earthquake of 2008.

At Terratribes Expeditions we are all too aware of the lack of accountablitiy exhibited by some charitable organisations. In order to set your mind at ease we like to involve our clients in our ongoing development efforts, through our free newsletter you can be kept up to date on our progress (if you would rather not subscribe we promise not hassle you!)
