Eco Projects in Africa

ZedAway is involved in a number of projects in various African destinations. We have a unique approach to charity and sustainability, as we try to promote empowerment to local communities.

Poverty can be reversed, but it is a long cultural process that cannot be addressed merely by pumping in new money, building hospitals or deleting the international debts of African countries.

Our projects will obviously not solve the problems of the African continent, but they will create awareness in all our clients and contribute to self-empowerment for the local communities.

Projects include helping in orphanages, teaching in a local schools, working on deprived African suburbs, building and environmental conservation. You will have the satisfaction of being able to make a difference, for yourself, for the people you will talk to and for the African people in need.
