How can I help?

You can help us by making a donation to the Exo Foundation Fund. Our work and the scope of support we can offer to the local projects relies heavily on donations. In order to guarantee a minimum of funding EXO Travel pledges to donate 1 USD per traveler to the Exo Foundation Fund.

When planning a holiday to Asia have a look at our Responsible Travel Collection or try to include a visit of one of the charity projects into your itinerary. By doing so you are not only raising awareness for their cause but also contribute to their up-keeping as a donation to the projects is included in our package price.
Where does the money go?

The full amount of your donation is used on charitable causes only. All administrative costs for the fund will be entirely borne by EXO Travel to ensure that 100% of your donations will reach charitable projects.
Can I visit the projects?

Some of our projects can be visited. Those that are open to visitors are included in our ready-made Responsible Travel Collection or can be worked into your individual travel itinerary.

Please understand that some of our projects, especially those working with children can not be visited due to protection concerns.
