• "Poverty in our world is pervasive. 1.2 billion people live on less than A$2 a day, and almost 3 billion live on less than A$4 a day. "
  • "Of those who live in extreme poverty, 70% are women and girls. Women do two-thirds of the world’s work and receive one-tenth of the world’s income."
  • "One billion people, 30% of the world’s workforce, are unemployed."
  • "One-third of all children suffer from hunger and malnutrition. 250 million children are forced into full time labour and more than 130 million children don’t go to school."

Journey Costs

Every Leadership Journey is tailored to the group's needs and the ultimate destination is unique, therefore the cost of each Journey will vary. An indicative breakdown of costs involved in the Leadership Journey is listed below.

There are four components to every Leadership Journey.

  1. Pre- and Post-Journey briefing - participants engage in a full day (8 hr) pre-Journey briefing and a minimum half day (4 hr) de-brief at the end. Coaching is also provided to the group post-program to assist them in developing a strategy and mechanisms to raise awareness and funds for the visited project.
  2. Travel and ground costs - includes flights, taxes, visas, immunisations, insurances, accommodation, food, activities and travel on the ground. Accommodation will be simple, safe, clean and close to the project being visited.
  3. Facilitation - Each Leadership Journey is hosted by a team of two facilitators who travel with the group. Local guides and project personnel experience are drawn upon to ensure a culturally sensitive approach and to maximise the integration of the LJ participant group into the target community.
  4. Project Donation - The donation amount will be agreed upon prior to the Leadership Journey. Upon their return, the participants become the 'Champions' of the project they visited with responsibility for raising awareness and the pre-agreed sum of money.

In total the Leadership Journey will cost $3500 - $5500 per participant all inclusive. This does not include the project donation. Every effort is made to balance cost with efficient travel and group safety.
