CHANGING PEOPLE’ S LIVES— ONE VILLAGE, ONE SCHOOL, ONE PERSON AT A TIME
In 1992, Alan and Harriet Lewis established Grand Circle Foundation( GCF) as a way to give back to the world we travel. With our travelers’ generous help, we have supported thousands of projects all over the world— from water, sanitation, and hygiene( WASH); to education and community development; to Indigenous rights and conservation; and disaster relief. Here are just some of the projects we support:
