Travel with a Cause Inc (TWAC) is a fully registered, insured international travel agency specifically created to pour its profits into third world & developing countries and, other "worthy causes" as defined by our mission statement. Due to the changing nature of the world the projects we support vary over time. This being the case, please contact us to enquire as to which projects we currently support. Our not for profit status means that by law, 100% of our travel agency's net profits are given away instead of going to company owners, directors, or shareholders. This means that when you book your travel through us (wherever or whenever you travel), you'll have the satisfaction that your travel through us has at least assisted what our directors believe are worthy activities. No matter where you want to travel, whether it's an Australian domestic flight or holiday, a luxury cruise or an international travel destination, Travel With A Cause Inc can easily manage your travel arrangements for you.

Travel With A Cause: Background

Conceived after its founding directors visited countries like Fiji and Zambia, the company's vision is encapsulated and articulated via our aligned mission statement.

Why not choose to make a difference when you travel? You can make a difference because if you book your holiday or corporate travel arrangements through us, you'll know that profits from your trips will flow to persons and places in need.  Think about it. Each time you travel you'll have the satisfaction not only of knowing that your travel plans have been taken care of by a professional, but just by booking through us, you can be helping people around the world who are in deep need. By booking your travel arrangements through us, you'll leave behind you a legacy of humanitarian aid. Your bookings will make a difference, you will be travelling with purpose and our directors are totally committed to ensure you will be making a significant impact on this world of desperate need.

Travel With A Cause: Directors

When two of our founding directors including our principle Jane Evans visited Fiji they were astounded by the poverty they encountered and decided to provide a mechanism by which some of the neediest areas of the world were supported. Likewise one of our other founding directors (Richard Parker) visited Zambia, and was overwhelmed by the unmet need he confronted. Richard has decided to live out his days committed to ameliorating the poverty and unmet need that he encountered in Zambia and similar countries. Following these experiences, TWAC was conceived in 2006. Initially focussed 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.

TWAC Directors receive no remuneration 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?

Firstly, you 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 somewhere in the world, someone who is less fortunate than yourself.

Secondly, you 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 (see Overseas Community Volunteer Tours for examples).

Thirdly, if 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. Whenever and wherever your travel, if you book through Travel With A Cause, you will make a difference because the profits derived from your trip will flow through to places that really need your assistance.

Fourthly, you can donate spare cash 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-deductibility 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.

Life is short. Have you considered your destiny? What is your purpose on this planet of difference? What legacy do you want to leave behind you?

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?
