Mission Statement:

We are a fully licensed travel agent & Overseas Aid Organisation that affords our clients the best possible travel experiences & that donates 100% of our net profits fund sustainable Community Development programs in some of the most desperate parts of the world.

We accomplish our Mission by:

1. Ensuring that we employ the best qualified & trained professional staff,

2. Utilising the best available technology, travel booking systems & reporting systems,

3. Providing funding to sustainable developmental projects that contribute to the long term well-being of the world's most disadvantaged people.

Background:

This Association is a Not For Profit International Travel Agency & Overseas Aid Organisation.

Our company works not only in travel but it also carries capacity to accept direct donations from the public in order to distribute through its trust fund, financial assistance to many projects.

We choose to fund a range of overseas development activities that form part of a comprehensive, economic, social, cultural and political process aimed at constant improvement of the wellbeing of the entire population and of all individuals, on the basis of their active, free and meaningful participation in development, and in the fair distribution of the benefits that result from this process.

Many of our projects constitute development activities aimed to produce benefits that will endure (a long term legacy) after our development assistance have ceased.

Our overseas relief programs ensure provision of basic support to people in emergency situations.


Some of our projects are located in developing countries, as defined by the Australian Government's Department of Immigration and Foreign Affairs through its related AusAid Department, that conforms to the list of countries ratified by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD) approved "developing countries" lists. Note: The Australian Tax Office (ATO) has granted us Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status since 22nd May 2006. This means we are able to offer Tax Deductible status to some of our projects. Please call us for details for read below for additional information. The related ABN is: 90 946 095 079

Likewise we choose to fund those organisations that we consider "make a difference" in countries other than those designated by the OECD as "Developing Countries". Hence our mission includes our ability to sponsor missions undertaken by various groups undertaking services & support to Australian indigenous groups.  Please ask our Board for details about the projects currently sponsored.

Whether or not you choose to travel to a developing country (and of course we can arrange this for you), just by booking any travel through our association, you will experience the satisfaction that when you travel, you will be assisting people somewhere in the world who our directors perceive are in great need.

What and who do we sponsor?

Firstly, 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 desire is to assist the poor and needy.
