"THE OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE REAL CHANGE"

Part of WE Charity’s overseas trips allow people from North America to “step into the shoes of Maasai warriors” in Kenya, or “experience a shamanic ceremony and get hands–on weapons training” in Ecuador.

The trips, offered through WE’s for profit arm ME to WE, cost over US$4,000.

But the sort of “voluntourism” trips that WE and other charities run have been greeted with some skepticism in the not-for-profit sector.
