QUESTIONS?
What is Charitrip?
A platform that connects travelers with charities with available space to accommodate travelers.
These accommodation may be originally designed for volunteers, but Charitrip aims to destinate it also to welcomes conscious travelers looking for meaningful stays.
Charities can offer experiences and flexible ways to get involved — always optional.

The best approach is to speak directly with the host to understand what’s available and decide what feels right for you.
How does it work?
1. NGOs, charities, and purpose-driven communities list their accommodation for free.

dates, activities (if any), type of stay, and price.

and the money goes straight to the host.
