EMPOWERING WOMEN OF NEPAL

We support a tourism training programme for women from poor mountain regions in Nepal, providing three women with accommodation and covering their tuition fees.

CORAL CATCH

We support four women in completing the Divemaster program, enabling them to progress and access opportunities in the diving and tourism sectors.

PENDUKA VILLAGE

We support Penduka Village in Namibia, empowering women by investing in talent development and financial independence.

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.

PROJECTS & NEWS

EMPOWERING WOMEN OF NEPAL

This project offers free tourism training to women from impoverished mountain regions in Nepal, giving them greater access to employment opportunities both within and beyond the sector. We support this initiative with two donations totalling €10,000. These funds initially covered accommodation and tuition fees for three women, and in autumn 2025 will also (partially) cover accommodation for eight participants during their training.

PENDUKA VILLAGE

This project in Namibia contributes to the empowerment of women by supporting their talent development and journey towards financial independence. We support Penduka Village by investing €5,000 in two overlock machines and six sewing machines, enabling women to run craft workshops and create handmade products to sell in the Penduka shop.

CORAL CATCH

Coral Catch provides women from the local community with training in marine ecosystems and coral restoration, with a select group continuing on to a Divemaster qualification. This increases their employment opportunities in the diving and tourism sectors while actively contributing to nature conservation. We support this initiative with a donation of €5,040, enabling four women to progress to the Divemaster program.
