Empower women through travel

Travel enriches, inspires, and amazes. It helps you broaden your horizons, increases your independence, and boosts your confidence. Particularly for women, travel is often a transformative and life-enriching experience. Unfortunately, this is not the case for all women in the travel and tourism sector—an industry where gender inequality is still prevalent, and traditional gender roles often persist. The SUITSUIT Foundation supports economic, social, and ecological projects that improve the position of women in the travel sector. We seek out and invest in initiatives that promote equal opportunities and enhance the well-being of both women who wish to travel and those in the destinations they visit.

EMPOWERING WOMEN OF NEPAL

To support women from the poorer mountain regions of Nepal, this project offers free training in tourism. This gives them the opportunity to secure a job within or outside the tourism sector. We support this cause with €5,000. This will provide three women with accommodation for the first six months of their training and cover the costs of their lessons, which are normally funded by the project.
