Since 2004, Ciao Bambino has played a central role in inspiring and enabling families to explore the world. We have witnessed time and time again how travel challenges and transforms families, offers a broader lens to our diverse, multicultural world and extends education beyond the classroom. After living through the COVID-19 pandemic and the radical loss of travel, it’s clear that there is truly no substitute for the value and impact of in-person connections and experiences. We also learned that global communities are more deeply connected to one another than ever.
Purposeful travel is more important than ever.
We’re putting our money where our mouth is! We are thrilled to announce our social impact and sustainability charitable giving program at Ciao Bambino that offsets the carbon footprint created by travel, while finding ways to accelerate the social impact created by preserving and empowering the communities we visit as we celebrate diversity and inclusion. Ciao Bambino donates quarterly to vetted non-profit organizations whose work helps communities and ecosystems around the world.
