Our contribution
We’re becoming more sustainable, step by stepOur mission
We already support social projects in more than 45 countries. Our goal is to support at least one project long term in every destination we offer. We regularly review our existing partnerships and keep adding new projects to our portfolio.
Sustainability Insights
We achieved plenty on our journey towards greater sustainability in 2023 too. Our Sustainability Insights give you transparent insight into sustainability at journaway and show how we want to keep moving towards sustainability, step by step!
47 projects worldwide
Protecting ecosystems, supporting local communities, creating educational opportunities and much more – on our journey towards greater sustainability, we support social projects and local organisations all over the world. We’re delighted to play a part in the valuable work of the people on the ground.
Help in Time, South Africa
Home is a favourite place – far away and yet so close – and everyone deserves one where they can feel at ease and simply be. Our heartfelt project makes exactly that possible for children in South Africa: We support the Siyazama Kindergarten run by the ‘Help in Time’ (HIT) foundation.
There are many families and children in need in South Africa. The foundation supports projects that provide basic care, educational opportunities and social integration for families and children. The donations cover the costs of attending the Siyazama Kindergarten as well as hot meals.
Mahampy, Madagascar
In the south-east of Madagascar, livelihood options are extremely limited, especially for women. Weaving Mahampy reeds lets them earn a small income for their households. But there’s a catch: unsteady sales and poor market access make it hard for traders to pay wages, while the unregulated harvesting of reeds puts ecosystems at risk.
The Mahampy project works to improve the infrastructure of the weaving economy and to provide education on financial and biological factors.
Trash Heroes, Asia
Soft powdery sand, rolling waves and glorious sunshine – that’s probably what springs to mind first when you picture a relaxing day at the beach. But the growing amount of litter in our seas and along our coasts is becoming an ever bigger problem, especially on those otherwise dreamy sandy beaches.
That’s why the Trash Heroes from Thailand have made it their mission to free beaches around the world from rubbish through weekly clean-ups. The Trash Heroes network now spans more than 120 countries and keeps growing. By the way, we’ve already joined a few clean-ups ourselves – and as a traveller on the ground, you can pitch in too.

We support these and many other organisations on behalf of all journaway travellers. You’ll find more info on each project on Instagram.
We at journaway regularly visit projects in person, get a feel for each organisation and roll up our sleeves to help out ourselves. Together, we’re working towards a better tomorrow!

Our Trash Heroes experienceOur contribution to our planet
Deep green rainforests, icy glaciers and deep-rooted traditions – the wonders of this world are waiting to be discovered, but they need protecting too. It’s time to take responsibility for nature, the climate and our planet. That’s why we offset the CO₂ emissions of the land arrangements for every trip you take with us. We’ll cover the costs.
