Camps International Trust (CIT) is a new charity that has been established to raise funds for two linked charities operating abroad. It is the charitable arm of the highly innovative Camps International organization which has been involved in supporting community and wildlife projects with local communities and international visitors through it’s program of adventure tourism.
It emphasizes responsible and ethical tourism by active participation with the local communities and by disseminating information on the benefits to the community and the wildlife that surrounds them.
Camps International already has sustainable development and conservation projects running in Kenya and Tanzania and is about to expand with similar ventures in Borneo. The CIT charity will direct funds to support these projects and ensure every penny is carefully spent. It important to stress that, unlike large international charities, CIT will avoid local government or other non-governmental agencies directing with how the money is distributed.
