We are a tourism company with a difference. We offer discounted tours when people donate books when they book their tour of Soweto with us, we then collect the books and donate them to community libraries. This is our way of giving children in our community access to books and education.
Type: Experience
Category: Unique Experience
Motivation for award: Our way of offering our tour is unique. We don’t only think for our business but also for children’s access to education. Tourists local / international most of them read and have books. So, what we offer allows them to enjoy a bicycle / walking experience but also give a child an opportunity to read and be educated.
Region: Gauteng / Johannesburg
