Imagine growing up in a community where opportunity feels distant, where travel is a luxury only seen on TV, and where your view of the world is filtered through movies, stereotypes, and propaganda. That’s the reality for many underprivileged youth; brilliant minds held back not by lack of potential, but by lack of access.
Thatman Cares was created to change that.
This initiative sponsors one deserving young adult who may have never traveled beyond the confines of their zip code to join a Thatman Travels trip. The opportunity is thoughtfully designed to immerse the recipient in new cultures, meaningful conversations, and transformative experiences that no classroom or screen can replicate.
Growing up in struggle often means being handed a limited view of what’s possible in the world. However, once you experience a new culture, breaking bread with new friends, and engaging in real human connection the illusions start to dissipate. You realize people everywhere want the same things: love, safety, joy and opportunity. It becomes clear that what connects us is far greater than what divides us.
This is what Thatman Cares makes possible.
Through your donation, we cover every part of the journey:
Round-trip flights
Safe and comfortable accommodations
Daily meals and immersive cultural experiences
A small personal allowance so they can enjoy the trip without feeling left out
Mentorship before, during, and after the journey to help them make sense of the experience
Our goal is not just to help someone take a trip. We're offering a rare and powerful chance to experience the world firsthand, through their own eyes and heart. In doing so, we’re investing in a future changemaker who will return with an expanded worldview to inspire and uplift their sphere of influence.
