There is a saying that you can’t learn how to ride a bike by reading books or talking about it. Quite simply, you have to pedal. At 109 we believe that nothing substitutes experience, that’s why our empowering & fundraising model is done through organizing global trips; Participants get first-hand insight into some of the most important social and environmental causes of today, while their money used to pay the trip is directed as a donation grant to our local partners which otherwise wouldn’t be able to get the support needed to continue their work and create impact. 109 only partners with local grassroots organizations that are improving the lives of hundreds of people and protecting their local environment.
