Who We Are
Platform for local impact
Share the Change is a non-profit in Sustainable Tourism
Every 3 months, we select 3 projects from local organizations, inviting travelers at the airport to donate their spare change.
Our mission is to empower local agents of change, connecting them with global citizens in a transparent and accountable way
Our Approach
Sustainable Tourism Development
The UN World Tourism defines Sustainable Tourism Development as
\”Tourism that takes full account of its current and future economic, social and environmental impacts, addressing the needs of visitors, the industry, the environment and host communities\”.
Our Contribution
Share the Change invites tourists to
\”Transition from a respectful cooperation with the host communities, to an active collaboration that leverages skills and resources from both visitors and locals\”.
Our Mission
To engage travelers in the sustainable development of the countries they visit, through the local agents of change.
Our Vision
We envision responsible tourism, where foreigners join locals in creating sustainable development.
Our Story
Share the Change started in 2020, when two Portuguese friends visited the islands of Sao Tome and Principe.
At the airport, they were left with some spare money.
They were also left with the desire of giving back to the local community through the organizations they had encountered.
The first airport Kiosk was created, and with it Share The Change’s first country chapter in Sao Tome and Principe.
