Leaving a legacy

We are proudly different. As a B Corporation, BecomingX is certified to meet the highest standards of social and environmental impact. This is why we only work with the best and most socially responsible partners. Adventure Alternative has won numerous awards for responsible tourism and invests considerably in the communities in which it operates.

Leaving a legacy

We reinvest in the communities in which operate. Together BecomingX and Adventure Alternative have set up charity projects designed to help people in low-income and underserved communities to realise their potential. Students on this expedition will meet young people from a project set up in Embu where young people have been receiving BecomingX lessons.  Students will also get to visit the Embu Rescue Centre, where Adventure Alternative works with street children, as well as programmes they run in Kibera, one of the largest slums in the world, deepening student’s understanding of global poverty and what can be done to support.
