Jelani Women Travel is the TOMS® of service travel for Black women and girls. When women sign up for an epic vacation with a purpose across 13 destinations in Africa, underserved teen girls have an opportunity to participate in the Jelani Girls cultural enrichment program, culminating in their very own international travel experience.
Women choose us as a way to travel because they want to discover the world's unbeaten path alongside other service-minded women The new friendships created when empowered women who want to vacation with a purpose get together is pure #blackgirlmagic!
