What is Giveback Guide?
Giveback Guide is a platform that connects travellers with projects and experiences that have a positive impact on the people and places that they visit.
Problem
Travelers previously had to manually search for volunteer opportunities and impactful activities while traveling, facing challenges in discovering credible and relevant local projects and inefficient planning processes.
Solution
A web/mobile platform where users can find and book verified local impact projects and experiences, such as beach cleanups or cultural preservation initiatives, through location-based filters and curated recommendations.
Customers
Socially-conscious travelers, including millennials/Gen Z backpackers, digital nomads, luxury travelers seeking purpose-driven trips, and corporate groups organizing CSR travel.
Unique Features
Focus on hyperlocal community-driven projects (not global NGOs), real-time availability sync with travelers’ itineraries, and impact metrics showing contributions (e.g., '20kg waste collected').
