    Travelling to change the world

    What is Tumaini

    We are an NGO that connects volunteers with development projects in Asia, Africa and Latin America. We have been working since 2013 to provide transformative experiences that foster exchange, enhance learning and raise awareness of social and environmental issues by integrating the SDGs into our programmes. We also work to empower the small local NGOs with which we collaborate. We have been managing an International Cooperation project in Nepal since 2019.

    Our values

    At Tumaini we believe in the power of solidarity trips. When we travel we open our minds and give the best of ourselves. If we combine travel and volunteering, a transformative experience emerges that changes our perspective on life and, at the same time, strengthens small NGOs.

    Trust

    The Tumaini team has visited and evaluated all the NGOs we work with in the field. This is the only way we can guarantee that they are suitable genuine projects for volunteering.

    Transparency

    Our team, our accounts, our actions, our stances... All the relevant information about our project is public and accessible on our website!

    Proximity

    We accompany travellers before, during and after their solidarity trips to ensure that they have a transformative and empowering experience.

    Responsibility

    We are not an intermediary between volunteers and NGOs, but we support them when they have special needs or emergencies - for us it is essential to contribute to their growth and improvement!

    Commitment

    We are 100% committed to the dissemination of responsible tourism: we give talks in high schools and universities, write posts and articles, and train our travellers before the trip.

    Areas of intervention

    Tumaini Commitment

    Latest testimonials

    Educational solidarity trip in the centre of Cusco

    What I most enjoyed was learning and coming into contact with a very ethical type of education that promotes affection and respect. Getting to know the children and forming a family with them, the coordinators and the rest of the volunteers.

    Education and games in the jungle of Iquitos

    I'll take with me the relationship with the children and the neighbours, from whom I have received so much, and from whom I have learned so much.

    Solidarity trip with elephants and their keepers

    "I have learned that a different reality is possible for elephants, one in which humans and animals live in harmony and mutual respect.
