The agency

An agency owned by an association

NK Seeds Funds & Travel is owned by the NK Seeds association. The agency has no shareholders and pays no dividends: its profits are reinvested in the association's projects.

Where the agency comes from

The NK Seeds association has been working in Luang Prabang for years: English schools, student sponsorship, access to water. One of its training programmes prepares young people for tourism jobs, and the agency was created to give it a hands-on ground: the best-trained students guide some tours, alongside our partner guides. This is not systematic: not all of them are ready to guide on their own yet. In time, the association can also hire them in the agency, if they wish.

What the funds are used for

The price of a tour covers the guide, the costs of the day and the running of the agency. The rest funds the association's training programmes. We do not give a fixed percentage, as the amount varies from month to month; the accounts are published by the association.
