  1. Volunteer Ethically and Empower the Local Communities The world is developing faster than anyone expected. As citizen’s of the world, we feel the responsibility as individuals to give back to the world to make it a better place. A good first step to empower people around the world is by volunteering in local communities. Several companies have been established that are working in this area, to make sure that everyone from around the world gets the opportunities that they deserve. One such company is the Australian Social Enterprise, Be a Local Experiences. It provides one of the best community immersion programs that empower both the local community and the traveller through voluntary programs. If you are interested in how to volunteer ethically then you are in the right place. Be a Local Experiences provides a step by step procedure to volunteer ethically. The primary concept of the social enterprise is to offer Travel with Purpose experiences. The ethical volunteering program provides the perfect opportunity for individuals to learn and experience a different culture. In this program, the participants will be able to experience life-changing experiences. Experiences such as this are important in the human development of participants, cultivating qualities to make sure that one grows as a responsible and community-minded individual. The travel program in South Africa primarily focuses on leadership qualities, philanthropic understandings as well as exploring new surroundings. Additionally, through the program, travellers learn about nature conservation through Safari experiences in Kariega Private Game Reserve. Through this process, the participants have a deep understanding of how to volunteer ethically. Another aspect that the social enterprise focuses on is the volunteering microfinance. Microfinance is the process of providing small loans, up to $2000 to people in poverty. The microfinance is accompanied by business guidance, panning, micro-loans, business education and financial training. The concept was coined by the famous economist Mohammad Yunus, who established and tested the concept in Bangladesh. He yielded amazing results in enterprise development, gender equality and self-driven community development. Volunteering microfinance enables individuals to overcome loan implementation problems that is seen to exist predominantly in developing countries. Some of the barriers that people of developing countries face are high-interest rates on the loans applied, unstable jobs, low salaries and violent environments. Through the microfinance procedure, it becomes easier for individuals to setup business or complete education by removing environmental barriers that are not present in other parts of the world.
