1. Reho Travel is a well established, if not high profile corporate
agency, but its offshore charitable arm reveals another impressive
dimension to the company. Phoebe Tilelli sat down with managing
director Karsten Horne to see how Rehope is making a difference
in a distant corner of the globe
It’s not every day you encounter
a business with a head office in
Melbourne and an outpost in a
remote village in Malawi. But Reho
Travel is not your ordinary travel
agency. Its charitable arm Rehope is
based in the small African country
and over the last five years it has
quietly been making a difference.
The Reho Travel team take their
duty of care very seriously, with
the wellbeing of their clients a key
priority for the business.Although
the operation is around 80% to 90%
corporate in nature it also consists
of various other divisions including
Reho study tours for university
students and leisure armVeta Travel.
The company initiates its corporate
responsibility in its Sydney office,
providing fresh fruit for staff and an
ergonomic workplace. Charity clearly
starts at home at Reho Travel.
And while most of us are waiting
to knock off on a Friday afternoon to
enjoy a few drinks at the end of the
week, you are more likely to find the
Reho team hitting the gym.
The impetus for the company comes
from managing director Karsten Horne.
“I try to lead by example, with the
aim of providing structure and healthy
options within our clients’ travel plans,”
he said. It is this can-do mindset that
has lead him to developing Reho’s
successful charity organisation.
Rehope is essentially a microcredit
agency that provides loans to local
people in Malawi who wish to
further develop their own small
businesses.The charity provides this
money directly from Reho’s profits
and creditors pay it back slowly over
a six month period on a low interest
rate. Each year two Reho employees
are chosen to spend a few weeks in
Malawi with Karsten working on the
various projects.
It all started back on a warm day
in 2007 when Horne was travelling
through Malawi on an overland truck
expedition.Along the way he came
across a man named Alick selling
hand-drawn postcards on the side of
the road.After getting to know each
other, Horne commissioned Alick to
design Reho’s yearly Christmas card.
The relationship that was established
with Alick planted the seed that soon
blossomed into the Rehope charity.

In the developing world business
loans are hard to come by so
the company sought to provide
opportunities via finance, basing the
operation in the village of Nkhata Bay.
Shortly after setting up shop a local
man said “In Malawi Rehope means
restoring hope” and this became the
charity’s mission statement.
When thinking of Africa, what
often comes to mind is a dry, barren
landscape where people walk long
distances over cracked earth in search
of food and water. However, Malawi’s
terrain is, in the main, vastly different.
Rehope’s office in Nkhata Bay is
built on fertile soil and surrounded
by lush, green scenery, free from the
pollution of major cities.“We visited
some areas that looked like the hills
of Scotland and then suddenly a
Zebra would appear,” Horne said.
The Rehope office has two rooms.
The first is used to discuss loans
and teach business planning.The
second room is being turned into
an education and resource centre
where pictures and diagrams will
be provided to teach sustainability
concepts to the local people.
Rehope receives many generous
donations of clothes and money from
clients and fundraisers who contribute
to the project. However, the Rehope
team aren’t just about giving handouts.
Their main goal is to educate the
people in the use of their resources to
achieving the best outcomes. Learning
the skills to develop their businesses
and to make the most of their assets is
an invaluable resource the charity can
provide the locals with.
The Rehope charity are setting
an example by using the land outside
the office to grow vegetables that
aren’t yet present in the market, such
as avocados.“There’s a perception
that these people have nothing.They
don’t have tap water or electricity but
generally they’re living in clean fresh
air, in a nice rural environment with
an agreeable climate, so why can’t
they make the best of it?” Horne said.
The loans have been offered to
several hundred people with around
fifty thousand dollars being invested
over the last two years. One recipient
is a woman who raises chickens to
sell at the market. Originally she
could only afford ten chickens and
by the time she’d raised and sold
them she wasn’t making a profit. She
couldn’t even afford a chicken coop
so squawking of fowls filled the rooms
of her home.“In a two room little
mud hut, you look behind the TV
and there’s all the chickens running
around.They were only little but God
help her when they grow bigger,”
Horne said.With a seven hundred
dollar loan from Rehope she now has
one hundred cooped chickens and is
able to sustain herself.
Another group of people who
were starting up a honey selling
business also approached the
Rehope team.Although the honey
was ready for harvest they hadn’t
worked out how they would extract
it safely.They had no money to buy
protective clothing so Rehope has
provided beekeeping suits that are
rented out to different people in the
community when needed.
When Horne last visited in March,
they completed various projects.
These included painting the school,
building a verandah and even
teaching a geography lesson to the
children.The school consists of around

800 kids with eighty to each class.
The classrooms are outdoor thatched
huts without walls. Horne said that
the one thing that surprised him
most about Malawi is that everyone
appears so happy despite the obvious
privations. Families support each
other, kids support each other and
the community is very welcoming
to outsiders.
Many people would expect to
feel uncomfortable in a country
with a culture so different from
ours. However Horne has never felt
threatened in Malawi.“When we went
to the school they just overwhelmed us
with smiles,” he said.
Contributing to a charity like
Rehope can be very gratifying but
it hasn’t always been smooth sailing.
Establishing the operation was a long
process and the team has faced many
setbacks along the way.The local
people are enthusiastic and helpful
when it comes to the project but they
often spend a lot of time talking about
the issue and not acting on discussions
and plans. Rehope team members
have at times been frustrated by the
lack of progress.
Horne explained that when
working on a project the people don’t
evaluate costs effectively which leads to
problems down the track.“It appears
that nobody is thinking about ‘what if’
and then they’re surprised when ‘what
if’ actually happens.”The job requires a
lot of patience and determination.
Horne’s suggestion to people who
want to start their own charity is to
choose a community and a cause that
they are passionate about.“Don’t do
it just for the sake of ticking boxes,
do it because you really believe in
it.This will make it easier when
encountering roadblocks.”
The key goal of Reho as a business
has always been to make a difference
in everything they do. Rehope has
undoubtedly had a positive effect on
several hundred people’s lives through
the loans.This is some achievement
considering it started with the
sponsorship of one man to make
Christmas cards.
And it appears that Horne and
his team won’t be leaving Malawi
any time soon.Their future plans are
expanding in scope beyond short term
loans. One idea is a safe taxi for the
locals, using a car they have bought.
Honey production, possibly for export,
and solar powered lights are other
initiatives in the pipeline.
Although Reho is now quite a large
business with offices located in Sydney,
Melbourne and Perth, its main focus
was never necessarily about making
money or growing. Horne is firm in his
view that business is about doing the
right thing and doing it well, which by
default attracts like-minded people to
work with you.At times it can be hard
to see a way to contribute when there
are so many areas in the world that
need attention, but you have to start
somewhere. “I guess we can’t solve the
whole world’s problems, but if we can
just solve a few and someone else can
solve help somewhere else then it all
adds up,” Horne said.
