Why Global Builders? Who we are… 1. We're about the people. Beyond just building homes, our goal is to engage people. Trips are open to skilled and unskilled, young and old. Costs are kept low so trips are as accessible as possible. 2. Quality of experience. We've helped well over a hundred teams and a thousand volunteers travel the world, where they interact in the community and work directly with partner families. Our best proof that it works? In 2012 over 80% of our groups are returning groups.
Why Global Builders? Who we are… 3. It makes a real, lasting impact. Building homes through empowering local leadership creates generational-level change. A dry, healthy home has been proven to improve education and serves as one of the most effective preventative health measures. Each trip also helps to create local jobs and supports the local economy. 4. Personalized attention. We're flexible and look for ways to meet your needs. Each team leader has the opportunity to include certain R&R opportunities. 5. This trip will bless you. Grow in faith, build team spirit, explore a new culture, and develop friendships. We promise it will be one of the most meaningful experiences of your year!
What’s in the trip fee? • Country donation • Purchases the materials you use that week • Covers local staff effort • Enables the program to continue • Trip Expenses • Food • Lodging • In-country transportation • Related expenses • Home office fee • Hat & t-shirt • Emergency medical ins. • Bank and credit card fees • Shipping • Advertising
What’s NOT in the fee? • Airfare • Fuller Center home office staff expense • Our office only retains enough to cover the hard costs of the program • Staff expense covered through organizational fundraising. • Staff helps keep this expense low by viewing this as mission – accepting salaries about ½ to 1/3 of enterprise salaries. • An investment in the program that is multiplied 5x and helps engage 500+ volunteers • This structure enables the cost of the trips to be kept lower than the actual cost of doing them. Part of our commitment to keep them affordable.
And Finally… • 2013 is a special year…exactly 40 years since Millard and Linda Fuller tested the partnership housing model in Africa! • Millard and Linda tested the model for 7 years in Americus, Georgia and the Congo before creating Habitat for Humanity in 1976 • Africa has not yet benefitted from Global Builders like other parts of the world have • We will send our first 1-2 teams to Ghana this year • Desire to put special emphasis on Africa for trip and fundraising - $40,000 match
