We Support Local Communities
Adventure Out Loud is also a social enterprise who puts the same emphasis on making a difference as making a profit. We believe travel can be used as a catalyst for change and we're putting our money where our mouth is by donating 50% of our profits to keep disadvantaged children in school.
We also believe in doing the right thing. To us, this means:
- Buying local where possible,
- Paying fair wages for local staff and contractors,
- Taking responsibility for reducing our environmental impact,
- Contributing to animal conservation, and
- Respecting and preserving local culture.
Our Charity Partners
We’ve partnered with Mwembe to make it easy for Aussies to sponsor and donate to local African charities that are doing amazing work. Mwembe is registered with the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission and donations over $2 are tax deductible. We’ve also partnered with a range of grassroots local charities who we have worked with for many years. These are charities that we trust and are continually working with them to transparently and accountably use your, and our, donations to achieve their missions.
Here are a few of our partner charities.
Here's what some of our sponsors say:
