NCCT engages in global projects with the aim of conservation, education, poverty relief, relief from natural disasters and wars. We fundraise to guests of Noble Caledonia tours, in areas where they travel. We seek out smaller projects, often in remote areas, that dont get a lot of exposure. Efficiency of fund spends is key, via close connection to ground operators and no or low admin costs.
