African Adventures is proud to launch its inaugural schools competition, offering one winning school $10,000 off a student trip to Africa.
Our mission-led programs are designed to create meaningful, long-term impact — not just for the communities we partner with in Africa, but for the students who take part. For US students, these trips are a powerful opportunity to step outside their comfort zones, develop cultural understanding, and grow into globally minded, socially responsible young adults.
Through our close partnerships with local schools and community organizations across Africa, students contribute to carefully planned service projects that respond to real needs and support long-term development goals. At the same time, they build empathy, resilience, leadership, and a deeper understanding of their role in a global community.
Entering the competition is quick and easy. Teachers simply complete the short form below, and their school will be entered into the prize draw, taking place on Friday 20 March.
From international travel and accommodation to in-country support and service activities, every aspect of the trip is thoughtfully organized by our experienced teams — allowing educators to focus on what matters most: their students and the impact they make.
How to enter
Enter by 09:00 Friday 20 March (Eastern Time, US) for your chance to win $10,000 USD off your school’s trip.
