From our founding in the early 1980s until 2005, Uniglobe supported Easter Seals in Canada and the USA. This organization's goal is to support and assist people with disabilities. As our organization's footprint became ever more global, we began to support Plan International, whose mission is to advance the rights of children and equality for girls in countries around the world.
UNIGLOBE is proud to support a variety of local community fundraising efforts. Globally, we advocate for programs to provide basic life necessities such as clean water, disaster relief, shelter and education to lift girls, women and families out poverty in the poorest regions of the world.
Because I am a Girl was a campaign by Plan International with the goal of transforming girls's lives through education. It recognized that dramatic impact that girls education specifically has on society's prosperity and in ending the cycle of poverty. Uniglobe Travel was a proud supporter of that campaign from 2010 to 2018.
Currently, Uniglobe supports Plan's work to build schools in the Gambella region of Ethiopia. That area is home to over 400,000 refugees from South Sudan, about half of which are children. Plan is working to build schools, train teachers and provide resources to allow these children to have an education and build their future.
Over the years, Uniglobe members from countries around the world have hiked the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, participated in RideLondon and climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, all to raise funds for Plan International.
In addition to the global efforts of the Uniglobe Travel organization, each of our member agencies are activiely involved in their local communitiies. The involvement and support address issues such as cancer, poverty, homelessness, disaster relief and many more. These are chosen based on the passions and connections of our local members.
