Fundraise $5,000 as a team or $1,000 per person by sharing your challenge story with friends, family, and co-workers!
Check out the challenge options, then complete the form below to get started!
Challenge Options
Water Haul Challenge
Why: Many Haitians don't have access to clean water. In the area where One 17 International operates, the average family walks 2–4 miles over the course of the day in order to haul water for bathing, drinking, and cleaning.
Challenge: Carry two gallons of water for two miles.
Suggested length: 3–5 days
Electricity Challenge
Why: Electricity is a luxury in Haiti that the vast majority of our students do not enjoy at home. The average American consumes 10,812 kWh per year of electricity while the average Haitian consumes just 43 kWh per year.
Challenge: Experience life with no electricity: no TV, no lights, no stove or oven, and limited heating.
Suggested length: 24 hours
Poverty Line Challenge
Why: The average family in our school lives on less than $2 per day. Imagine having to pay for food, housing, schooling, and other basic needs on that small of a budget.
Challenge: Eat on less than $2 per day.
Suggested length: 3–5 days
Rice and Bean Challenge
Why: Rice and beans are widely and cheaply available in Haiti, which means they're a staple of the Haitian diet. As any of our serving teams will tell you, spaghetti is also a cheap staple for any meal.
Challenge: Eat nothing but spaghetti, rice, and beans.
Suggested length: 3-5 days
