When several industry leaders traveled to Nairobi, Kenya, with Micato Safaris, little did they know that a new initiative to collect funds for a new Computer Learning Center at Harambee Center in Mukuru would lead to a global movement. After this successful pilot program, Travel Elevates was born.

Based in Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit, Human Connections is a non-profit organization that connects local people with international audiences. With the Travel Elevates grant, it will be able to serve both artisans and travelers via virtual learning and partnership development. While the Insight Initiative involves new programming, it also directly furthers Human Connections’ mission to increase empathy and strengthen local communities during the pandemic and beyond.
