What's this trip about?

    Masicorp, a community organization that operates out of Masiphumelele, was created to help the township live up to its name. Masicorp spearheads education initiatives and investment in enterprise so that the people there can improve their lives. Masicorp has been around for more than 14 years and in this time has built a trusted relationship with the community. Among Masicorp’s many achievements is the construction of a library and education resource center that offers free educational programs to the public. Masicorp’s approach is to work alongside the people of Masiphumelele, asking them how they need support and providing them with the resources to succeed.

Our Mission:

Give A Day Global’s mission is to connect international travelers with daylong volunteer opportunities in order to help our nonprofit partners build capacity and expand their networks of support.

Our Vision:

We believe that all people should have access to education, healthy food, medical care, a sustainable environment, and economic opportunities. By connecting travelers with nonprofit organizations who pursue these same goals, we aim to engage more people in making the world a better place, one day at a time.

How do we do it?

We team up with reputable nonprofit organizations near tourist destinations in Africa, Asia, and the Americas to bridge travelers with projects that are accessible, meaningful, and that may inspire involvement that can continue from afar.

How do you do it? It’s simple:

  • Travel
  • Give a day
  • Stay connected with us throughout your experience
  • Keep on giving

 

Who we partner with:

We carefully vet our partner organizations to assess their effectiveness, to ensure they have sound financials, and to verify their reputation for integrity and community impact.

The organizations we are looking for must meet these requirements:

Location: located near an urban hub or tourist destination.

Language: Have staff that speak English fluently for interacting with our volunteers and communicating with Give A Day Global staff.

Communications: Have reliable access to phone and internet communications.
Community Participation: Involve and empower the community they are serving.

Financial integrity: Have transparent and verifiable financial records that demonstrate fiscal responsibility.

Legal Structure: Be a registered 501c3 in the US or have a registered fiscal sponsor in the US.
