What and who do we sponsor?

We support sustainable community development projects that transform communities. We fund projects that focus on long term, sustainable economic and social development that long term move communities from “dependence mode” to economic and social independence. Our company works not only in travel but we also carry the capacity to accept direct donations from the public in order to distribute through its trust fund, offering financial assistance to many projects.

Initially focused on supporting OECD-designated “Developing Countries” in Nov 2009 the Board extended its sponsorship pool & mission to include humanitarian work in developed countries as well as supporting organisations that work in Australia.

Importantly with the exception of “Emergency Relief” funding, Travel With a Cause funds organisations that provide a “hand up” rather than “hand outs”. In other words, we support projects that provide long term, sustainable community development and therefore, move needy communities from positions of “dependence” to position of independence.

Background

Travel With A Cause Inc (TWAC) is a Not For Profit International Travel Agency & Overseas Aid Organisation.

Conceived after its founding directors visited third world countries, one of our founding directors, Jane Evans, visited Fiji and was astounded by the poverty she encountered and felt the desire to offer continuing help to those who lived in developing countries. Likewise one of our other founding directors (Richard Parker) visited Zambia, and was overwhelmed by the unmet need. Together they decided committed himself to offering support to those living in poverty and destitution. Through their passion to help and support, Travel With A Cause Inc was started in 2006.

TWAC Directors receive no wages for their work as TWAC Board members. To the contrary, Board members (Directors) have to pay for the privilege to oversee, guide & implement TWAC’s mission statement by means of Directors’ contributions to Annual Membership Fees. (TWAC Membership is compulsory only for Directors).

So how can you help?

1You can choose to book your travel through us. No matter where you travel you’ll be satisfied that just by booking through us you’ll have helped someone who is less fortunate than yourself.

2You can travel with us to places like Zambia and in doing so you can meet face to face the people that your trip helps fund.

3If you have skills and experience, why not travel and spend some of your time working on the projects that we are sponsoring? Are you a Medical Practitioner? A Dentist? An Optometrist? A Builder? A Cook? An Artist? A home renovator? Any skill you have can be used to great effect in the third world countries we are sponsoring. You just have to choose to make a difference.

4You can place a financial donation to our projects.
Australian Citizens can claim legitimate tax deductions for gifts to some of our projects. Just ask us for more details as we are constantly moving forward in this area. If tax-deductible is not important to you, then you are assured that 100% of your donation will go to the project of your choice. Tax-deductible donations incur a 10% administration fee which is provided to over-arching organisation (World Relief Australia Inc.) which provides to TWAC its tax-deductible status. TWAC never withholds donation money for itself and 100% of the non tax-deductible donations received by TWAC are passed on to our sponsored projects.

Why not contact us today and ask us how you can make a difference to the thousands of poverty-stricken children of the third world?
