THE ORBIS FOUNDATION

HOW WE DO IT

“Our approach is informed by listening to our partners in Malawi.” Kate Webb, Co-Founder

We believe that through empowered collaboration, meaningful long-lasting change can take place. We choose to support existing organisations rather than starting our own independent initiatives which is why we established The Orbis Foundation in 2022.

The Orbis Foundation is dedicated to making a lasting impact by working with local communities on sustainability, conservation, educational initiatives. As part of our commitment to responsible travel, we donate a percentage of all our trips to the Foundation, ensuring that every journey with Orbis DMC contributes to meaningful change across Africa.

THE ORBIS FOUNDATION

What Have We Learnt

TRADE
NOT AID

We have learnt that in order to develop and grow as a person, community or country you need first to be empowered. We believe in local employment, business, trade and empowered giving. We chat about this on social media using #tradenotaid

LEAD BY
EXAMPLE

Lead by example: Always say when you have made a mistake, shout from the rooftops about what you are good at but surround yourself with people who are better at things you struggle with. Be human, others will follow.

IT’S FINE TO BE
SCARED

Adrenaline is there to warn us, listen to your gut, speak to others who you meet on your journey but ultimately decide what is right for you, your business, your team. Harness that to turn that fear into something incredible.

KEEP LEARNING,
KEEP LISTENING

The more we explore, the more we learn, not just about the world but about ourselves. Stay curious, embrace the journey and never stop learning and listening!
