As travelers who have also tried to make a difference in some of the communities we have visited, we love the idea behind Passports with Purpose (PwP) – travel bloggers coming together to raise money for a great cause. This year, that cause is working together with Water.org to build clean water wells in two communities in Haiti. PwP’s lofty (but very reachable) goal is to raise $100,000.
We also love that, in raising money for a great cause, bloggers partner with travel companies around the world to offer amazing prizes to raffle off to people who donate at least $10. Prizes include travel clothing, electronics, tours, hotel stays, gift certificates and more!
Donate $10 to a great cause. Win an awesome, travel-related prize. What could be better?
