Not Sure Which Destination Is Right?

“I’ve led four Challenges Abroad trips to Cambodia, Panama, Nepal, and India, taking 68 students, with a fifth trip now in planning.

The top thing the kids get out of it is a hugely expanded sense of what they are capable of. They come home going, ‘Oh my gosh, there is this amazing planet full of people... and yet I have it within myself to go and get involved and to be part of something, and actually to succeed within it.’

Challenges Abroad has been exceptional to work with - they’re fixers, enthusiasts, giving personal attention to making sure things go well and making us feel known and cared about as a college.”

“The team is always on hand to answer any question, no matter how big or small, providing guidance exactly when we need it.

We were particularly impressed with their proficiency in the complex area of bid writing, which has led to multiple successful project outcomes for us. Beyond securing the funding, the team provides compliant and effective management of the entire project lifecycle, handling everything from the submission of detailed reports and payment requests to the necessary collation of participant and placement data.

The constant support, combined with seamless logistical planning, including all trip bookings and full group preparation, allowed us to focus entirely on our students’ educational outcomes.”
