About this user

Planeterra is a non-profit organization that supports a steady cycle of giving and investment, via our global network of travel industry partners, in the social and environmental needs of people and places travelers visit worldwide.

Planeterra has a history of raising funds for the needs of local people in the destinations where G Adventures and its industry partners send travelers. Since 2007, Planeterra facilitated the development of voluntours worldwide, by developing projects where travelers share their time and skills with local people and their projects in destinations around the world.

In 2011, Planeterra is building on this track record of bringing time and money to a growing number of projects under the new leadership of Executive Director Megan Epler Wood and Associate Director, Paula Vlamings.

Planeterra seeks to get at the root of the challenges local communities face by supporting community based businesses and local NGOs working in the iconic destinations its partners serves.
