Giving Back - Partner Charities within Asia
Since 2006 Selective Asia has been working alongside a number of carefully selected charities within Asia. From the start our aim has been two-fold - to donate funds to, and to provide a suitable structure for returning clients to contribute safely towards truly worthwhile causes in the countries that we all love travelling in.
With so many worthwhile charities and non-government organisations (NGO's) operating throughout Asia, it is never going to be easy to provide a complete range of projects and funds.
The following are therefore a selection of charitable organisations that we have first hand experience of; organisations that we believe are truly making a difference to peoples lives, animal welfare and helping to sustain communities. The work they do is always essential, often life-saving and guaranteed to make a real difference to those that they work with.
What can you do?
Each of the following partner charities provides a quick and safe channel for making a donation. Your support is always greatly appreciated.
What is Selective Asia doing?
As a tour operator specialising in Asia we are committed to donating a percentage of profits to charitable foundations and organisations within Asia. In the past we have worked directly with individual orphanages, however at this time we feel that working alongside established charities provides greater benefit and ensures any contributions made are managed better.

For many the only reason for wanting to visit Borneo is a chance to see, and spend time with, the mesmerising orang-utans; guaranteed to provide hour after hour of amusement and entertainment to those that visit the few sanctuaries to be found in Sabah and Sarawak.
The Orangutan Appeal UK (a registered UK charity) is dedicated to the rehabilitation and preservation of orang-utans and the conservation of their habitat. By providing support and funding for projects across Malaysian and Indonesian Borneo, the appeal strives to protect remaining wild populations of orang-utans. read more

To date, one of the most impressive small-scale projects we know of. A well managed, direct and focused approach has reaped rewards that are plain for everyone to see. Working 'hand-in-hand' with 554 village families in the rural Cambodian village of Chamcar Bei, the project helps residents to create a better life for themselves and a positive future for their children.
The aim is that the village will become a self-sustaining community; with quality educational opportunities, clean water and access to healthcare. Visitors are welcome to visit Chamcar Bei and spend the day with the volunteers and the residents, learning more about the exceptional work being done. read more

Those few unfortunate enough to have stumbled upon a 'bear farm' whilst travelling off the tourist trail in more remote parts of Vietnam, will have witnessed first hand the excruciating conditions these animals are kept in. The reason for this cruel punishment - the collection of bile, a popular ingredient in Chinese medicine.
Born Free, along with many other very worthwhile projects across the globe, is taking action to stop this exploitation and help support the rescue of bears. read more
