Trekforce Worldwide

What Our Project Partners Say

Every Trekforce project is carried out at the request of, and in cooperation with, a local project partner and with the support of the host government and local community. Trekforce permanent staff in each country will discuss the project with the partner and visit the proposed site. Before we agree to take on a project, we will need to be satisfied that it is both worthwhile and sustainable.

Trekforce's ethos, doctrines and procedures have proven very professional in every regard. It's amazing to see the depth of your company's work beyond trekking, particularly in providing remote communities with such valuable project support"

Most of the funds raised by Trekforce volunteers are spent on the projects themselves or on in-country support. This includes transport, food, tools and safety equipment, and wages for local guides and carpenters.

These funds may also be used to pay for building materials. However on the larger construction projects we would expect the project partner to match our contribution with additional grants from sources such as DfID, UNDP, the EU, the FCO small grants scheme, or the World Bank.
