StayAway is a charitable  organisation that organises  
gap year placements, work experience, and  volunteer internships in 
Africa  and in doing so, aims to assist rural  African communities. We 
seek to promote a tourism that has an inclusive approach to our  diverse
 people, a tourism that is meaningful to the disadvantaged people  of 
Africa, and a tourism that serves to inform visitors about the  dynamism
 of our new approach.Back in 2008 when Ras Austin Rizzah started StayAway as 
Ethical Encounters, he had a vision. He wanted to give everyone people a
 chance to explore the Africa and by doing so discover their potential 
and become members of a community working together serving through 
thrilling adventures together. After re-launching in May, 2015 it became StayAway Volunteer Travel, a
 growing sustainable development charity, providing work exchange 
combined with volunteering around Africa for people taking a gap year, 
career break, retirement or time out from education, employment or 
training. School, corporate and adventure expeditions for groups can be 
tailor-made to suit specific requirements.
