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