Our Impact

Maasai Land Explorers is a pioneer of impactful, affordable volunteer travel. We believe that travelers anywhere in the world should be empowered to make meaningful contributions to the communities they are visiting, and we take pride in making this happen.

Our volunteer programs enable socially-conscious travelers to have a meaningful impact, to foster cultural exchange and to expand their skills and horizons – this is Maasai Land Explorers’s global purpose. We believe it’s important to monitor and transparently report on how we’re delivering against this purpose, so we’ve developed a comprehensive Impact Report to talk about the global impact that Maasai Land Explorers and our volunteers have had in the last 12 months.

The report outlines the aims and objectives of our volunteer programs and summarizes some of the biggest achievements from 2017. This report also discusses the values and commitments that underpin our organization, and explains what makes Maasai Land Explorers tick.

Some of Maasai Land Explorers’s achievements from 2017 include:

• Helped volunteers to contribute more than 860,000 hours of support to community projects abroad
• Enabled volunteers to spend more than 410,000 hours supporting education and literacy projects
• Invested over US$11m in communities abroad through Maasai Land ExplorersProgram Fees
• Grew our overall volunteer numbers to more than 100,000 since 2007
• Reduced our carbon emissions by 15%
