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.
Child in Need Institute (CINI)
CINI works to break down the cycle of poverty, malnutrition and ill health. It focuses on the most fundamental issues facing poor women and children in India, bringing about sustainable improvements in nutrition, health, education and protection from exploitation.
Founded in India, CINI has over 30 years of experience and a wealth of local knowledge.
In November 2005, the Indian government recognised their work to help children and so the charity received the National Award of Child Welfare.
An example of their work is raising funds to help child labourers with academic and non academic support through educational camps, with the intention to successfully reintegrate these children into mainstream schools.
In December 2004, on the third day after the Tsunami hit the shores of Asian countries, CINI also supplied three teams of volunteers. They were carrying food, medical supplies and cash for local purchases.
