About our charity work
As part of our commitment to responsible tourism, in early 2005 we formed the ‘Audley Charity Portfolio’, which originally comprised five organisations we chose to actively support.
This has now evolved into an initiative where we have selected charities which involve countries across our range of programmes.
These charities are intended to help a wide variety of causes from wildlife, human rights issues and education, through to the environment and conservation.
Task Brazil
As a department we have been supporting Task Brazil for a few years. It is a registered charity and has been running since 1992.
Task Brazil aims to improve the lives of street kids of Rio and pregnant teenage girls.
It provides them with shelter, food, education and runs self development schemes in the hope that the youngsters will gain financial independence and develop into responsible members of society.
Amigos de Santa Cruz Santa Cruz
La Laguna is a small Mayan community on the shores of Lake Atitlan in Guatemala.
It has no road access and is surrounded by jagged mountains; the only way to get there is by boat from the lake.
Amigos de Santa Cruz’s main focus is on the education of the residents, both Primary and Secondary, in order to help develop a literate community who are better educated and able to improve their own lifestyles and future.
The education projects provide books and other supplies for the Primary school along with a daily nutritional snack for the 400 children.
