Find a Journey Destination

Spending some time in a place which has been forgotten by much of the world and where poor and marginalised people live their lives is a rich experience that will challenge you forever.

Choose your Leadership Journey destination from a list of countries and development projects that have each been visited and carefully selected by a member of the Aafia team. Each Aid & Development Organisation behind the development projects has been selected for their quality project philosophy and accountable reporting mechanisms. Alternatively you might like us to tailor a Journey to a project you already have links with.

Please browse these projects and contact us with any questions you have about designing the right Journey for you.
