We provide comprehensive preparation and support before departure, as well as a detailed Programme Orientation on arrival in-country, ensuring participants feel confident and ready to contribute to the programme.

Absolutely! This is something we encourage you to do, and we’ll help you set up an official fundraising page so you can share it with your network to collect donations.
What is the accommodation like?
You’ll either be staying at our hub, or a local partner guesthouse in dorm-style accommodation, sharing your room with up to three other participants. There are western showers and toilets, as well as communal spaces for relaxing. While you will be provided with home comforts, they will be different to your usual standards and all part of the challenge!

“My trip to Panama was a once-in-a-lifetime experience, capturing both the beauty and challenges of the country in an action-packed 2-week programme. The team were incredibly organised and supportive, and their local knowledge made everything run smoothly. I would love to travel with Challenges Abroad again, and would highly recommend this amazing opportunity.”
