Ride to be well; raise money to do good.
At Hub World Travel, we care about people and places. We organize events to raise funds for humanitarian work abroad and at home. This bike ride is a benefit for the Ethiopia Project, an Oregon based nonprofit.
Sneakers and classrooms
In Ethiopia, everyday items like shoes are often a luxury that many cannot afford. The Ethiopia Project collects new and gently-used footwear for donation to orphanages and low-income communities. Hub World Travel’s Scholarship Fund helps kids in Ethiopia attend school and get a basic education.
Voluntourism
Turn your next vacation into more than a sightseeing tour. Hub World Travel offers community-based tourism and volunteer opportunities.
Cost: $550.00 (Per Person)
