Hope Builders is a self financing ministry. Each team member is asked to raise his own finances. This includes the cost of travel, food, building materials and books or equipment for the new project. The cost of each team member is approximately £1500 / 2200 per trip. This money may be raised by sponsorship, but all fund raising must be in agreement with the ethos of Hope Builders and the Fields of Life Trust and get the approval of the organising task force.
