project impact report 8-11-16

The focus of our work
should always be on the
outcomes of an activity,
not the activity itself. It is
not what students have
done but what they have
got out of it

At World Challenge we believe community engagement should achieve two important
outcomes.
Firstly, it should inspire young people. By enabling them to live and work alongside
locals, young people become exposed to different cultures and naturally broaden
their own horizons. Secondly, community engagement should live up to its name;
it should engage the host community in a positive and lasting way.
Our initiatives are aimed at a variety of causes according to local needs – supporting
education, improving sanitation, reducing environmental impact, but all
are worthwhile as part of a bigger picture plan.

Challengers (students) need tasks that are realistic, achievable and will prove beneficial to their host community. It
is recommended that tasks are confirmed a few months before their arrival so that they have the maximum time
to prepare in advance. In some cases, having this information in advance it may mean that the team will try to
raise additional funds for their work. Receiving information about their project and host community helps to keep
the momentum going for the team who will spend around 18 months preparing for their expedition.
In additional to the physical labour that the team provides, they are also looking forward to spending time with the
local children and your community. It is an excellent opportunity for some cultural exchange and perhaps a game
or two of football! If you let them know in advance, the team can also prepare some English lessons to teach the
children.

World Challenge is a specialist company that organises educational expeditions for young people aged
15 – 17 who are mainly from the UK, mainland Europe, the U.S, Middle East, South Africa, Australia
and New Zealand. During their expedition, the students are exposed to a number of challenges which
will help them to develop their leadership, communication and organisational skills to help them in the
future. As part of the itinerary, teams spend a few days with a local community and participate in social
and/or environmental work.
It is important to World Challenge that the
project yields results that are beneficial to the
community. In cases where there is a lot of
work to be done or a larger scale project, it is
possible that more than one group can be assigned
to the community during that year or in
future years. Both the community and the
team can and should mutually benefit from
this experience; previous communities have
found their experience with a team to be
memorable and consequently sometimes
communication between the two groups lasts
for many years after the initial contact.
This was a huge experience for the challengers:
working along with the host community, they were
able to experience first-hand their daily challenges
and how the people deal with them, and keep
smiling. EL Richard Hirst
Throughout the homestay and the work at the
project we were fully exposed to the local lifestyle
and were invited to partake freely of it. It was a
great learning experience and the team left with a
greater understanding of some of the trials and
tribulations of living and working in such a community.

The village itself was fascinating, showing how
people from different faith and cultural backgrounds
can live side by side without tension. SL

Swaziland is the smallest country in the southern
hemisphere, but also one of the most interesting
with lots of fun and adventure. Swaziland is a
microcosm of Africa with strong traditions, vibrant cultural
festivals and friendly laidback people.
It is a country of scenic beauty and h
uge possibility being strategically located between South Africa
and Mozambique and having r
elatively well developed infrastructure and a peaceful history
and reputation.

Ndinda NCP was established in 2006 to cater for children of the community who had either lost their parents to
HIV or whose parents were too sick to care for them, making these children vulnerable.
What the community want
and the task Better access
to water by installing gravity
water feed system
In 2016 We completed the multi team project (9 teams) and installed a gravity
feed water system. The first team started back in March digging the reservoir in
the hills above the centre for and through t the rest of the season teams installing
pipe work into the community ready for the final team, Stowupland, to
complete the system and turn on the tap after installing the water storage unit
giving the community their first water tap.
2017 to build communities
first clinic ( 9 teams)
What the impact was eg– Community has instant access to running to a free
water source Befits—community no longer have to wake 7km to collect water
from crocodile infested water.
