Doing our bit for society is a wonderful gesture. But what if you could lend a helping hand in a faraway land? Imagine the joy of being responsible for the smiles and spreading cheer along the way.
At Authenticities, we have woven travel experiences with philanthropic initiatives that will add meaning and beauty to your voyage and discoveries. We hope to ease the lives of those less fortunate than us by creating social awareness and having impactful resolutions, facilitating hands to help us, and making that difference that we believe in to communities around us.
We believe strongly in the need to build bridges and connect lives, communities and their futures through the “Connect” initiative. Our approach is to identify communities, engage with them and extend a hand to them in their development and growth. This provides opportunities to enhance their skills.
Our aim is to enable them in such a way as to inculcate self-belief and build confidence, in the long run boosting social and economic stability. The “Connect” initiative cause is the closest to our hearts, as it revolves around children. We believe that in providing support to children, we support strengthen the fabric of society.
Each project is qualified through a simple, fast-tracked process where our regional experts identify rural schools, which are in urgent need of support. The scope includes any urgent infrastructural requirements such as building classrooms, renovation, providing desks/ chairs, adding a library and sanitation. We encourage extra-curricular activities by providing sports and musical equipment.
One of the best feelings in the world is giving. Positive energy is contagious. One act of kindness can inspire another, in turn several others, to go out and plant seeds of happiness through giving. Your greatest gift is the ability to share your blessings. It is what makes life meaningful.
This assumes an even greater significance when one travels and is able to spread this goodness. Over the last several months, our desire to do good has been further reinforced & when you travel, make it matter.
If you feel that this ethos resonates with you, then the travel ideas that we propose are for you.
Maybe you have thought of giving back to society, and you could do it as you travel. Here are some ideas: working with marginalised communities, conservation of endangered animals, volunteering in local villages, distributing dry rations, Or even the simple thought of ensuring your trip is sustainable, can go a long way in empathising with our cause.

At Authenticities, our work centers around making the world a better place through education and travel and through expanding horizons. We believe in celebrating differences, in mitigating our own implicit biases, in identifying our common humanity and in becoming better and stronger individuals while embracing our diversity.
Our company was founded on the belief that travel is fundamentally about connection. We are at our best when we connect with each other. Whether we are travelling or at home, we learn and grow from our inherent diversity. In order for that to happen, we need to embrace each other’s humanity and insist that our systems be built on equality.
The core areas of our philanthropic initiatives are;
