A&K Philanthropy partners<br />
with local communities to<br />
create lasting change.<br />
Building on a legacy of partnership<br />
Established in 1982, A&K Philanthropy (AKP) is dedicated to giving back to<br />
the vibrant environments and communities we are so privileged to explore.<br />
As part of our ongoing mission, AKP partners with local communities to<br />
improve education, conservation, health care and enterprise with over 40<br />
projects spanning seven continents – a philanthropic commitment unequalled<br />
in the travel industry.<br />
Experience an AKP project first hand<br />
A number of our small-group journeys offer opportunities to visit an AKP<br />
partner community, affording a wealth of moving experiences you won’t find<br />
anywhere else. Whether it’s celebrating a newly opened maternity ward or<br />
serving lunch to local schoolchildren, many of our guests experience their<br />
journeys’ most impactful moments during these visits.<br />
Sharing genuine perspectives<br />
AKP employs a team of dedicated philanthropy co-ordinators stationed<br />
throughout the world, allowing for deeper, more meaningful cultural<br />
exchanges. AKP co-ordinators facilitate the face-to-face interactions that<br />
reveal the true fabric of these communities, from speaking with a local<br />
teacher in a Kenyan village to witnessing the impact of clean water wells<br />
in rural Cambodia.<br />
“In 2019 alone, travellers introduced to our AKP-supported<br />
projects during their journeys helped improve the lives of<br />
more than 125,000 men, women and children worldwide<br />
through donations to over 40 programmes in 24 countries.<br />
That’s the impact travel can make.”<br />
