Causes and Donations

The IAKP have a long history of supporting the Matses tribe and other rainforest causes.  In 2022, in response to the impact of the pandemic and climate change in Brazil and Peru, we decided to broaden the causes we support and donate to. We remain committed to supporting both the Matses people directly and through other organisations that are working with them.

In 2022-2023, the IAKP foundation have chosen CHILDREN OF BAHIA as our CHARITY OF THE YEAR

Children of Bahia are a small independent charity working with local NGOโ€™s in Brazil to provide care and support to children living on the streets in often dangerous circumstances. They are currently helping over 70 street children, aged 2 to 6 years, most of whom who have HIV/AIDS.

They run a monthly / weekly club (funds allowing) for the children. This provides a day of fun, good food, a shower, care, safety & love. They also provide medical care, advice, and support. Because many of the children already have AIDS, their health is checked, drugs are dispensed and where necessary they are taken to hospital for treatment. The children can relax, play and be taken care of. For a short while, they can forget life on the streets and just be children.

The IAKP are helping to run this and with support from our clients and practitioners, we can extend that support and maybe help to provide a more permanent interventions for the children like fostering or adoption.
