Gone Fishing is designed for business leaders and professionals.
It is an immersion experience for people who are curious, reflective, and open to being changed by walking alongside others. It’s not a tour, and it’s not about fixing or leading. It’s about presence, listening, and shared humanity.
Each year, a small group travels to East Africa to spend time with our project partners — educators, community leaders, families and young people — who are shaping their own futures with courage and dignity.
For many participants, this journey comes at a turning point:
– a desire to take a break
– a sense that change is needed
– a longing for perspective
If this resonates, we’d love to start a conversation.

Expect a jam-packed itinerary. But, we haven’t forgotten fun and downtime!
There will be multiple opportunities to enjoy Kenya’s world-famous coffee and shop for special mementos. Many of the programs we visit offer beautiful, handcrafted homewares and fashion items that we encourage you to purchase, as the profits directly support the programs. Beyond our programs, we will visit some bespoke markets and hand-crafted social enterprises in both Kenya and Uganda.
Recently, a group of incredible individuals from BildGroup, You Who and CV Services Group joined our Gone Fishing immersion — a journey that went far beyond travel.
Natasha Facci embarked on a two-week ‘Gone Fishing’ immersion in East Africa in 2023. Natasha’s journey, supported by BildGroup, exposed her to the stark realities and inspiring resilience of local communities and the necessity for community consultation.

Most of the project partners we work alongside rely almost completely on donor funds to operate. We strongly encourage you to choose a project to support and start raising funds before your trip.
We have a dedicated fundraising platform where you can host your own fundraiser and ensure the funds go where they are intended.

As we head towards the end of the financial year, your gift can help children learn, read and thrive.
In rural western Kenya, classrooms are overcrowded, teachers are untrained and under-supported, and children are leaving school unable to read, leaving them disadvantaged for life.
But, with your help, this can change.
With improved teacher training, better literacy support and safer classrooms, children can gain the foundational skills they need to succeed at school and beyond.
Your support this tax time will help train teachers, strengthen schools and help thousands of children learn to read with confidence.
