The Adventurists now have one official charity across all the adventures - Cool Earth. You can read about the masterplan here. 

At least £500 of the £1000 minimum per team has to be donated to Cool Earth. Beyond that teams can carry on raising money for them or choose another registered charity of their choice. Over the years we have worked with some most excellent charities who do fine work in various corners of the planet. 

If you are looking for a corker of a project to support, look no further, give one of these a shout: 

Frank Water (India)

FRANK Water saves lives through funding innovative and sustainable clean water projects in developing countries.

Mercy Corps (Mongolia)

The herders and livestock that roam the vast Gobi Desert seem like they've always coexisted there — but the times are rapidly changing. Mercy Corps supports families and communities in rural Mongolia with programmes focusing on economic opportunity, civil society and natural resource management. Since 1999, they have worked with local governments and agencies, businesses, associations and civil society organisations to help build a robust economy and engaged community that respect Mongolian traditions.

Harapan Forest via Bridlife International (Indonesia)

The Forest of Harapan (Hope) is an incredible project in Sumatra, Indonesia set up to protect vast tracts of rainforest from being decimated by logging. Funds donated to this project via Birdlife International will help with the reforestation work and training of local people to become forest wardens. This will save many species from becoming extinct and make the planet more jungly and foresty, which is rather important.
