Let's ChatA&K Philanthropy Mission
To improve lives and protect the environment by supporting local communities in the places we travel
A&K Philanthropy Work
A&K founder Geoffrey Kent pioneered the community-first approach to conservation more than 60 years ago. Today, A&K still believe that the best way to protect the planet’s remaining wilderness is to invest in the communities who live there.
In alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals, A&K projects focus on education, enterprise, health and environment.
Through these initiatives, A&K aim to support, empower and educate local communities to facilitate the protection of their surroundings, and to ensure that the people in the places where we travel are also benefitting directly from tourism.
The A&K Philanthropy nonprofit network now spans 24 countries on all seven continents, positively impacting hundreds of thousands of lives and helping preserve some of the world’s most precious ecosystems, as A&K continue to celebrate travel as a force for good.
A&K Philanthropy Projects
A&K have launched over 85 projects in more than 25 countries where guests travel, collaborating with local communities to promote lasting impact. A&K initiatives have four areas of focus: education, enterprise, health and environment.
HEALTH
Safe water is a basic human need. It is a UN Sustainable Development Goal to ensure every human has access to safe and affordable drinking water by 2030; and to this end A&K Philanthropy has invested in the provision of clean-water wells, water filters, and hygiene education.
Donations from A&K guests have funded the construction of a nursing school, medical centers and maternity wards in remote communities, radically reducing mortality rates. A&K continues to fund shipments of medical supplies and hospital equipment; and grants to train nurses every year.
ENVIRONMENT
A&K has always been a pioneer of exploration, taking travellers further than any other travel company into some of the world’s most pristine wildernesses. Through education programmes with local communities and collaborating with government organisations, A&K Philanthropy promotes the protection of the planet’s fragile ecosystems, from the rainforests of Uganda and the wildlife of the Maasai Mara to the marine reserves of the Galápagos Islands, ensuring their wellbeing and beauty for generations to come.
“We know that the future of conservation lies in the hands of the future generation.” - Glory Lema, A&K Philanthropy Coordinator, Tanzania.
EDUCATION
Education is the key to equality of opportunity and to the conservation of the whole world. A&K believes that every child has a right to an education. AKP partners with local communities to build schools, nurseries and libraries; to provide books, teaching equipment and free school meals; and to foster teacher training and arts learning programs. As part of the commitment to equality, A&K has also invested in medical schools to train nurses, as well as empowerment centers to train women in skills that improve their economic opportunities.
The children who live on the edge of the world’s national parks are the future guardians of these precious ecosystems. In the destinations where we travel, A&K has launched initiatives to educate local communities and schools on the importance of conserving the environments they call home.
ENTERPRISE
A&K community-led enterprise projects are designed to empower people to learn, earn and progress, in the destinations where the guests travel. A&K fosters local partnerships to launch start-ups and facilitate training programs.
A&K believes everyone has an equal right to employment and economic opportunity; to this end A&K focuses particularly on female-run businesses to maximise impact in households, communities and beyond.
