Founded by Carmen Chan, Girls Be Change is a pioneering social business that enables and empowers girls and women to be explorers and changemakers. The launch of Impact Expeditions for Women Explorers under the theme “Travel with Purpose. Connect with Intention”, aligns perfectly with Goodwings' mission to provide innovative travel management solutions that prioritize responsible choices.

These expeditions are designed specifically for women explorers. They offer hands-on wildlife conservation experiences in South Africa and opportunities to explore the cultural and natural wonders of the Peruvian Andes and Amazon - all while fostering women changemakers community and supporting local causes in gender equity and conservation.

Goodwings will enhance this journey by providing a climate-focused travel booking platform allowing Girls Be Change explorers to make informed decisions when planning their trips. While booking flights, users will have access to information about each flight's carbon emissions, to make the most responsible travel choices. Furthermore, all flights booked through Goodwings for the Impact Expeditions in 2025 will be fully carbon offset, reinforcing our commitment to environmentally responsible practices.

Goodwings is dedicated to transforming how businesses book and manage their travel. With a full suite of sustainability tools, their platform helps businesses and organizations set targets, analyze emissions, create policies, ensure compliance, and encourage responsible travel. The platform offers eco-informed travel options, allowing participants in the Impact Expeditions to make conscious choices that minimize their carbon footprint.

We provide a platform that makes it easy to make informed travel choices and every flight booked will be carbon offset, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability.”

Collective Synergy: Partnerships for the Goals

The initiative of Impact Expedition for Women Explorers is made possible only through collective partnerships with global changemakers, including Goodwings (Denmark), Wilde Tracks (UAE, UK, Africa), Sacred Valley Project (Peru), and Daughters Rising (Thailand), among others.

More Than Just Travel

By supporting Girls Be Change, Goodwings is not only helping to facilitate meaningful adventures for women but also contributing to initiatives that uplift communities and promote gender equality.

Participants will engage in changemaker community building, impactful service work, learn from local changemakers, and foster connections that extend beyond the expeditions.

Impact Expeditions for Women Explorers in South Africa and Peru

The inaugural Impact Expedition for Women Explorers is set to take place in Makalali Nature Reserve in South Africa from June 7 to 13, 2025, co-hosted with Wilde Tracks. This expedition addresses the urgent need for wildlife conservation and intervention in South Africa, where participants will gain a rare, behind-the-scenes glimpse into a world usually hidden from the public eye. Explorers will work directly with seasoned conservation experts and wildlife veterinarians with 25 years of experience, helping to fund critical conservation efforts, including helicopter operations, wildlife collars and tags, veterinary fees, and essential medicines.

The two Impact Expeditions in Peru invite women explorers to embark on transformative journeys through the stunning landscapes and rich cultures of the Andes and the Amazon.

In the August expedition, participants will visit the Sacred Valley, home to the Inca Empire's direct descendants, explore the ancient capital of Cusco, and culminate their adventure at the iconic Machu Picchu. This expedition includes meaningful service work that empowers rural girls' education through the Sacred Valley Project, a featured organization of the Girls Opportunities Alliance of the Obama Foundation, while allowing participants to connect with local social entrepreneurs and learn how social business models uplift communities.
Following this, in the September expedition, explorers will immerse themselves in the lush Amazon rainforest, starting in Puerto Maldonado, where they will meet wildlife conservationists and advocates for indigenous rights. They will gain insights into the challenges faced by these communities and wildlife due to habitat loss and illegal trade, while discovering the crucial importance of preserving the Amazon's delicate ecosystem.
