We’re thrilled to support inspiring organizations like Red Rocks Rwanda, thanks to the generosity of our donors and supporters. In 2022, Red Rocks Rwanda received funding from Planeterra's Global Community Tourism Fund to empower women and youth through traditional artwork. This initiative has enhanced skills, created job opportunities, and increased household incomes—making a lasting difference in their community. 🌍Join us in creating more opportunities like this by supporting our Wish List Campaign: https://lnkd.in/dR8dqy7z Every contribution counts, and with our partner Evaneos matching donations, your impact goes twice as far! Help us spread the word by sharing this post—together, we can transform lives through tourism. #SupportCommunityTourism #EmpowerWomen #DonateToday #CommunityTourism #TravelForGood #SupportLocalCommunities #SeasonOfGiving #MakeAnImpact #WishList #DoubleYourImpact #DonateForImpact #PlaneterraImpact

I love our Global Community Tourism Fund at Planeterra. It opens up more opportunities every year to community organizations to access funds to help them achieve their goals for their communities and nature too. It’s the team’s dream (and my dream too!) that this fund and our network of communities benefiting will continue to grow exponentially, and thank to our generous partners in the tourism industry we are continuing to grow it year over year. Happy holidays! And join us!
