DIG Field Trips

A Unique Experience You Won’t Find Anywhere Else

Each year DIG organizes the unique opportunity to work hand-in-hand with our communities in Africa while also arranging to explore some of the regions most breathtaking sites.

These intimate trips give donors, volunteers, and interested supporters an opportunity to not only visit the incredible countries where we work, but get a rare invitation to go deeper with the amazing farmers DIG has been working with.

Joining a Trip

Trips are typically limited to 10 individuals so it is important to contact DIG early with your interest.

As trips are announced, DIG will ask for a $1,000 non-refundable deposit. You will be responsible for getting international flights, any necessary vaccinations, paperwork, and malaria medication before departure.
