Clapham-based Travel Matters created a fundraising page last week to drum up cash to aid the work of three charities.
Owner Karen Simmonds told TTG the idea was aimed at helping communities faced with living in crowded conditions with limited water, sanitation and health care, and struggling financially due to their reliance on the tourism industry.
She described the situations in countries close to her heart, such as India, as “utterly heartbreaking”.
Travel Matters is raising money for Empart UK – working to “transform” 100,000 communities in Asia by 2030 – Just a Drop and The Travel Foundation.
