Our Power, Our Planet

Earth Day, observed on 22 April, unites over a billion people worldwide in support of our planet. The 2025 theme, “Our Power, Our Planet”, calls for a global push to triple renewable energy by 2030.

In Zimbabwe, our partners Wild Horizons and the Victoria Falls Wildlife Trust (VFWT) are turning this vision into action by installing biogas digesters in rural communities. These systems convert animal waste into clean cooking fuel, reducing deforestation and protecting vital ecosystems.

Go2Africa is proud to fund one digester per month and donate for every trip booked with a stay at one of our selected Victoria Falls partners.

The VFWT continues to lead in conservation through wildlife rescue, scientific research, and building harmony between communities and nature.
