Rafiki's School
Travel that educates — one journey at a time
Rafiki's
School
For every €10 spent, we fund one hour of education for a child.
More than a promise — it's a movement turning travel into transformation.
The Promise
Travel That Transforms
Rafiki's School is more than a promise — it's a movement. With every €10 spent, we fund one hour of education for a child in Africa or low-income Arabic-speaking countries, where over 50 million children still lack access to quality learning.
This initiative turns travel into transformation, offsetting its footprint by investing in futures.

This initiative turns travel into transformation, offsetting its footprint by investing in futures. Whether you're booking a bed, joining a surf trip, or diving into the Red Sea, your journey helps another child begin theirs — in a classroom, with a teacher, and with hope.
The Challenge
Why Education?
Across Africa and the Arab world, education remains one of the most urgent challenges

These numbers represent futures paused and dreams delayed. At Rafiki, we believe every journey should help change that.

Our Response
Rafiki's School Initiative
Rafiki Hostels attracts the good ones.
The conscious ones. The curious ones. The “let's wake up for sunrise but also stay up for deep talks” ones.
Not just travelers chasing a cheap getaway — but people who want stories, connection, and a little positive impact while they're at it.
€10 = 1 Hour of Education
For every €10 spent across any Rafiki hostel, activity, or experience, we fund one hour of education for a child in the region.
