PEPY is a social venture that combines educational development and responsible travel through both our non-profit organization, The PEPY Ride, and our tour company, PEPY Tours, which funds our programs. Seeing a need for educational resources and advocacy in developing areas and also a global desire for meaningful travel options, PEPYs founders created an organization that fills this space at the intersection of development and tourism. Our two-part mission is:

1) To aid rural communities in improving their own standards of living, with a focus on increased access to quality education.

2) To encourage adventure travel that emphasizes social action, responsibility, and accountability.
