CARE Challenges
A CARE Challenge is exactly that; a challenge. It will challenge you physically and will be an experience like no other.
It will take you to the amazing sights that the Asia Pacific region has to offer, while a visit to a CARE project along the way will provide you with a rewarding experience that will show you personally the difference that you are making to the lives of others.
A CARE Cycle Challenge typically lasts 11-14 days, including flights and approximately 400-450km of cycling, while a CARE trek is aproximately 10 days.
There will be ample opportunities to take photos, sample the local cuisine and experience the unique culture of the country or countries you visit. There will be times when your fitness levels may be tested but the satisfaction you get on completion of the trip and the camaraderie of the group you travel with will certainly outweigh those moments of fatigue.
Committing to a CARE Challenge means having a positive impact on some of the poorest communities in the world.
