Amsterdam, 5 January 2026 – Go for Africa and Corendon Hotels & Resorts proudly announce a new partnership. On 25 January 2026, Corendon Amsterdam Schiphol Airport, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, will serve as the departure point for the annual Go for Africa journey to West Africa. This special moment brings together education, sustainability, and international cooperation.
Go for Africa is a Public Benefit Organization (ANBI) foundation that deploys Dutch MBO (senior secondary vocational education) students to share their knowledge and skills with students at schools in West Africa. In addition, cars and support materials are donated, and new practical classrooms are set up with professional equipment and tools. In this way, African students are given better opportunities for education and employment.
