The scholarships of Tropical Experience

Starting 2017, we created a fundraising campaign to support economically disadvantaged students in the Tondo area of Manila, in a neighbourhood commonly known as "Smokey Mountain".

During the years, we re-adapted this campaign by making ourselves the main donors with the project "1 Traveller = 1 Donation": for each single traveller that booked a trip with Tropical Experience, we added 5€ to a special fund to give one or more scholarships once the needed amount would be collected.

Since then, this has been a fundamental activities to contribute to the development of the Philippines: we strongly believe in education as the best fastor of growth and development for individuals and their communities.

At the same time, we received funds from other people that desired to participate. Clicking on the pages linked below, you can find the annual recaps of each project and read the accounting and reporting documents, provided together with copies of official receipts testifying our payments.
