Planet Wheeler Foundation
The Planet Wheeler Foundation, a prescribed private fund, was established in 2008 by Maureen and Tony Wheeler, founders of Lonely Planet Publications.
Planet Wheeler is based in Melbourne, Australia and currently funds over 60 projects in the developing world. While we focus on South East Asia, East Africa and South America we currently provide support to NGOs in 30 different countries.
Our purpose, put simply, is to support practical and effective projects which make a difference in the alleviation of poverty.
