We have sought to respond to the economic differences of our potential students through a sliding scale depending on the average income levels of the nation you come from. We have found this to be the fairest way to address economic differences.

We base our charges for Global Challenge Missions Journeys on our budgeted expenses and by taking into consideration the national average Per Capita Income (PCI) of 208 countries.

These countries are assigned to one of two categories based on the PCI:

Category A – Countries or territories with a PCI between US $0 – $10,000 (South Africa, Brazil, etc.)
Category B – Countries or territories with a PCI of more than US $10,000 (USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, etc.)
For a complete list of countries and the category they are assigned to, please contact our office.

The sliding cost scale for the participation in the One Year Journey 2024 will be as follows:
Category A country of income – R109,500.00 (approx. R9050pm)
Category B country of income – R129,500.00 (approx. R11,000pm)
