EMAIL SIGNUP CONTACT AGENT LOGIN A&K Philanthropy Partners with Local Communities to Empower Lasting Change Established in 1982, A&K Philanthropy (AKP) is dedicated to improving lives and livelihoods in the communities where our guests travel. As part of our ongoing mission, our local offices around the world support over 40 projects in their communities that focus on one of the four pillars of AKP — Conservation, Education, Health and Job Creation — making for a philanthropic commitment unequalled in the travel industry. On many journeys, you have the opportunity to visit an AKP partner project, and see firsthand the positive impact these efforts have on their communities. Whether it’s celebrating a newly opened maternity ward or serving lunch to local schoolchildren, philanthropic visits afford a wealth of moving experiences you won’t find anywhere else, and many of our guests — especially those travelling together as a family — experience their journeys’ most impactful moments during these visits. AKP employs a team of dedicated Philanthropy Coordinators stationed throughout the world, allowing for deeper, more meaningful cultural exchanges as you experience these projects as part of your A&K journey. AKP Projects Around the World With more than 40 projects worldwide, these are just a few of the philanthropy visits you can experience firsthand on an A&K journey.
