At Camps, we go beyond travel. We work hand-in-hand with communities, listening first and co-creating solutions that matter. Every initiative connects to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals because real global change starts with understanding local needs.
At Camps, we are part of the communities we work with. This gives us a deep understanding of the challenges people face every day, and we consult closely with local leaders and stakeholders to make sure our projects provide real, lasting solutions. Each project supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals, addressing global challenges at the local level. Because humanitarian, environmental, and wildlife issues are often interconnected, we take a holistic approach, tackling them in ways that reflect the realities of each community. Our projects focus on eight key areas of lasting impact:
The issues: Over one billion people lack adequate shelter.
Our impact: We build and renovate homes, community centers, and public facilities to provide safe spaces that empower families and strengthen communities.
End poverty in all its forms everywhere
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
Build resilient infrastructure, promote inclusive and sustainable industrialization and foster innovation
The issues: Millions of people live without clean water and face hunger or malnutrition.
Our impact: We develop reliable water systems and sustainable food projects that help communities thrive and build resilience.
End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
The issues: Rural communities often lack access to healthcare and sanitation.
Our impact: We construct toilets and hygiene facilities, renovate clinics, and help bring healthcare directly to those who need it most.
Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all
The issues: Millions of children are out of school, and many who do attend don’t receive a quality education.
Our impact: We build schools, libraries, and teacher housing, while also supporting educators with training and resources to create opportunities that last.
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
The issues: Many families live on less than $1.90 per day, with young people in rural areas most affected.
Our impact: We support income-generating projects such as farming, ecotourism, and artisan crafts, helping families develop sustainable livelihoods.
The issues: Half of Earth’s species are at risk of extinction by 2050, largely due to human activity.
Our impact: Working in six global biodiversity hotspots, we protect habitats and reduce human-wildlife conflict through sustainable, community-driven efforts.
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss
The issues: More than 80% of natural forests have already been lost.
Our impact: We support reforestation, waste management, recycling, and seedling nurseries to fight environmental degradation and restore ecosystems.
The issues: In areas with limited awareness and resources, domesticated animals are often neglected.
Our impact: We improve standards of care for livestock, providing shelter, veterinary care, and humane treatment.
