All expedition projects are overseen by our native RTC leadership who work to define local community requests and assess specific needs for appropriate RTC assistance.  The selected expedition projects become more specific as the experience and skills of accepted applicants are reviewed and the team is formed.  We ask you to bring and contribute whatever knowledge or life experiences you have, and we assure you, they will be put to good use!  Team members can anticipate working with students & community members sharing knowledge regarding health, hygiene, self-care, gender respect, critical & consequential thinking, nutrition and basic first aid.   The valuable Grow. Learn. Give. program which teaches the fundamentals of needed sanitation & personal hygiene, plus physical maturation processes to adolescent boys and girls will be part of that.  Additional projects may include working with a local health clinic and a community project such as rain water harvesting.

All team projects have native Africans and RTC team members working side-by-side throughout the expedition.  The added knowledge shared helps to empower & sustain individuals as well as their families. Participants are oriented and prepared as the expedition develops. 

Space on this team is limited.  Placement on the team roster is on a first-come, first-served basis of accepted applicants.  We invite you to share the Reach the Children perspective that uplifting even one person makes the world a better place and join this expedition! 

RTC (a 501c3 non-profit organization) expedition expenses are covered through donated funds.  Each team member is responsible to make sure a minimum of $3995.00 USD has been donated to cover their expenses during this expedition period--which include the following as arranged for the team by RTC:  airfare between approved US departure cities and African destination, team transportation in Africa, team lodging in Africa, all meals with team in Africa, daily bottled water in Africa, team activities, and contributions to team projects.*
