Challenge Costs
Deposit
We will require an initial deposit of £200 when you apply to join the trip. This is to secure your place on the team and will be deducted from the total direct costs of the trip.
Direct Costs
Direct costs include international travel from the UK, accommodation, meals, drinking water, transport, sightseeing, first aid provision, insurance, and orientation materials. Direct costs will normally range from £800 to £1,500 per Global Village volunteer depending on the location of the build. See the dates and destinations page for the costs of trips that are currently on offer.
The following items are not included: transfer to and from the UK airport of departure, visas, personal spending money, airport departure tax, vaccinations and anti-malarial tablets, additional drinks, any meals not included in the total cost, mandatory safety equipment such as a hard hat, and the charitable donation.
Sponsorship
An important part of these challenge events is fundraising. We challenge team members to fundraise to help Habitat for Humanity achieve its vision of a world where everyone has a decent place to live. We ask team members to raise £350 or more as a donation for Habitat for Humanity. Many team members are able to double this and some raise much more. With this donation we will be able to fund building costs where you will be working. In most countries, team fundraising will fund at least one complete house.
We have a ‘toolbox’ of fundraising ideas and will send this to you when we accept your application. We also run briefing days, which include a session on fundraising ideas.
