PLANETERRA IS...
The Planeterra Foundation is a non-profit organization with a long history of supporting sustainable community development through travel and voluntourism. By getting to know local people in the communities we visit, we are able to help identify individual needs and act quickly to meet them. Our projects providing water tanks to families in Kenya to a women's weaving co-operative in Peru offer travelers with a few hours, a few days or a few dollars to spare, a unique opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of people and communities around the world.
TRAVEL • CONNECT • GIVE BACK
As a community of global travelers we hope to be immersed in local culture, traditions and everyday life – we crave our sense of place.
We seek meaningful connections with local people, often through a volunteer tour.
A rewarding and energizing trip for us means a chance to give back in a positive and lasting way.
Satisfy your soul - come join us on your next adventurous voluntour journey!
