At World Challenge we believe community engagement should<br />

achieve two important outcomes.<br />

Firstly, it should inspire young people. By enabling them to live and<br />

work alongside locals, young people become exposed to different<br />

cultures and naturally broaden their own horizons. Secondly,<br />

community engagement should live up to its name; it should engage<br />

the host community in a positive and lasting way.<br />

Our initiatives are aimed at a variety of causes according to local<br />

needs – supporting education, improving sanitation, reducing<br />

environmental impact, but all are worthwhile as part of a bigger<br />

picture plan.<br />

The Sustainable Development Goals<br />

were set by the UN in 2015. By<br />

2030 it’s hoped these new<br />

Sustainable Development Goals<br />

(SDGs) will have been met. During<br />

the community engagement phase,<br />

teams will have the opportunity to<br />

learn about how some of these<br />

issues impact local people and the<br />

communities they live in. Our aim is<br />

to support projects that enable<br />

teams to make a meaningful<br />

contribution towards a better world<br />

through a shared learning<br />

experience.<br />

Throughout the homestay and<br />

the work at the project we were<br />

fully exposed to the local<br />

lifestyle and were invited to<br />

partake freely of it. It was a<br />

great learning experience and<br />

the team left with a greater<br />

understanding of some of the<br />

trials and tribulations of living<br />

and working in such a<br />

community. EL Graham Carlson
