Nosso Compromisso de Doar

Estamos genuinamente comprometidos em contribuir para um mundo melhor. Como parte desse compromisso, decidimos nos tornar membros do pledge1percent.org, uma organização que incentiva empresas a doarem pelo menos 1% de sua receita, lucro e/ou tempo para instituições de caridade.

Nosso compromisso atual é doar 1% da receita das vendas diretas dos nossos produtos Cuban Adventures para instituições e causas que acreditamos fazerem uma diferença positiva e duradoura na vida de pessoas menos favorecidas.

Isso significa que, quando você reserva um tour diretamente conosco, 1% do valor pago é doado por nós para instituições de caridade. Até agora, desde que fizemos nosso compromisso, já doamos mais de R$135.000. Abaixo estão algumas das organizações que apoiamos.

Doe para Cuba

Junte-se a nós para apoiar o povo cubano através do nosso parceiro de caridade, Give2Cuba, uma organização sem fins lucrativos dos Estados Unidos, ativa em Cuba desde 2010.

O Give2Cuba fornece alimentos, medicamentos, dinheiro e outros itens essenciais para milhares de famílias e indivíduos cubanos em necessidade, além de auxiliar empresas na implementação de projetos filantrópicos em Cuba.

O Give2Cuba funciona totalmente graças à generosidade de voluntários, não possui funcionários remunerados, e é uma iniciativa apolítica e sem afiliação religiosa. Toda a sua doação vai diretamente para Cuba!

Cuba enfrenta atualmente sua maior escassez de alimentos e medicamentos dos últimos 20 anos. Sua contribuição pode impactar significativamente vidas, fornecendo suprimentos essenciais para milhares de famílias vulneráveis. O Give2Cuba é uma organização sem fins lucrativos registrada federalmente nos EUA.

Para Quem Doamos

Médicos Sem Fronteiras (MSF)

A Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) oferece assistência médica de emergência ao redor do mundo para populações em situação crítica. Todos os anos, desde 2008, a Big Planet Adventures doa para essa organização indispensável. Atualmente, não há missões da MSF em Cuba, pois o governo cubano prioriza fortemente a saúde, e de fato Cuba envia milhares de seus próprios médicos para outros países onde o acesso a cuidados médicos é muito mais limitado. Alinhados ao apoio do governo cubano à ideia de que a saúde é um direito humano, fizemos da MSF a primeira organização a receber nosso apoio financeiro e moral.

CeDA Cuba

CeDA (Cubanos en Defensa de los Animales) is a project founded by Cubans who act in defense of animal rights. Their main activity is reducing the numbers of abandoned street dogs and cats in Cuba by rescuing them, promoting adoption, sterilizing, vaccinating and educating the population about caring for animals and against violence towards them.

Our donations go towards buying veterinary supplies to treat injured and sick animals as well as paying the costs of sterilization of rescued animals. We welcome our travellers to help us contribute by bringing much needed supplies for CeDA, and to volunteer as a flight parent to deliver animales who have been adopted by people outside of Cuba. Read more about how you can contribute to animal welfare in Cuba.

Festival de la Bicicleta

Cuban Adventures is one of the major sponsors of this annual festival in Havana that promotes the use of the bicycle in Cuba as a form transport that is environmentally friendly and economically viable for a large proportion of the Cuban urban population. Run by our esteemed friends at Citykleta the event also emphasises the importance of responsible city planning to allow for safe use of the bicycle as a form of transport in the urban environment, and to improve city liveability. The festival features guest speakers, fashion shows, short films, bicycle maintenance workshops, and bicycle tours around Havana.

Travelers Against Plastic (TAP) and SEE Turtles

Cuban Adventures is a platinum sponsor of this organization that cleans plastic waste from sea turtle habitats and recycles that waste into products that support conservation efforts and local communities.

TAP and SEE Turtles also works with conservation groups to educate travelers about tortoiseshell products and reduce the trade of these items in many countries around the world.

Each year we donate 2 places on our 8 Day Original Cuba Tour to this organization to help them raise money for their causes through their Sustainable Travel Auction.

Save The Children

Save the Children is an organization that works to reduce poverty, and aid in health, education and the protection of children worldwide. Cuban Adventures is very proud to support Save the Children by sponsoring children in need.

The children we sponsor, however, are not in Cuba, as children in Cuba are very well taken care of by the Cuban Government. Cuban children receive expert medical and health care in Cuba from birth. They also receive excellent education. In fact Cuba has one of the highest literacy rates in the world. Due to this, Cuba does not form a part of any international support networks for the protection of children.

Nevertheless at Big Planet Adventures we decided that we wanted to help children in other not-so-fortunate parts of the world, which is why we provide support to this impressive organization.

About the Aurora Ball

Support of the Annual Aurora Renaissance Ball directly supports vital LGBTQIA+ community initiatives nationwide, helping create meaningful change throughout Australia. This assists Rainbow Giving Australia's Amplify and Ignite Pride grant rounds, which provide crucial funding to LGBTQIA+ organisations that receive minimal support elsewhere. Currently, only 5 cents in every $100 received by Australian charities goes to registered LGBTQIA+ organisations. Together, we're changing that.

Thanks to the generosity of Aurora Ball guests and funding partners, Rainbow Giving Australia has distributed $1.5 million in grants to LGBTQIA+ organisations across Australia through these programs.

Other Organisations We Support

Apart from the above charities and causes we donate to every year, we also actively support and follow the concepts and ideas of the following organizations.

International Institute for Peace through Tourism

We believe in the IIPT motto which says: "Every traveller is an ambassador for peace."

IIPT is dedicated to fostering and facilitating tourism initiatives that can contribute to further international understanding and cooperation, an improved quality of environment, the preservation of heritage, and through these initiatives, helping to bring about a peaceful and sustainable world. One of IIPT's aims is to reduce poverty, while promoting peace and understanding, through the tourism industry.

Planet Whale - Responsible whale and dolphin watching

Big Planet Adventures supports Planet Whale, which helps in the protection of cetacean species through promoting responsible dolphin and whale watching tours. They have developed a search engine that lists such tours. In Cuba there are several aquariums that have dolphin shows using captive dolphins. We do not recommend these shows to our travellers, as they encourage the market of the (sometimes illegal) capture of wild dolphins to sell to such aquariums.
