COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
With thanks to the generosity of our 2019 guests, we were able to support and organize new eyeglasses for an entire team of local artisans. This effort has made a significant impact in the lives of the women, given the detail of their work. In addition, Ace Camps's eSwatini travel partner actively supports both local communities and wildlife & environmental conservation projects.
