FUNDRAISING

Cycle Kenya is the culmination of an exciting match-funding campaign that Amref Health Africa will be running from March-June 2019. Our partner will match fund all donations and fundraising in that period, up to a maximum of £2 million. This means that participants in Cycle Kenya will be encouraged to do the majority of their fundraising in this period, so they can benefit from the match-funding and raise even more for our projects in Africa.

Participants will still need to pay their £495 registration fee up-front upon booking. Whether you plan to 'self-fund' or fundraise for your challenge costs, please contact us (info@amrefuk.org) before you book for a chat about the dates and deadlines that will apply to you. No matter which option you choose, we are looking forward to working with you to create a personalised fundraising plan that is achievable for you and raises as much as possible for Amref. The written agreement that we will create together will be the definitive confirmation of your payment and fundraising deadlines.

THE DETAILS

REGISTRATION FEE IN INSTALMENTS

The first instalment of £250 is due at the time of booking. The second instalment of £245 will automatically be debited from your credit/debit card 31 days after you book. We can only accept payment for your registration fee by instalments if you book and pay online. Please note that when paying your registration fee in instalments, a £10 admin fee will be added to your first registration fee payment. Please note that your booking will not be processed (and we will not send an authorisation request to your charity) until we receive the payment for your second instalment. Your place on the challenge will only be held until 31 days from your initial booking. If we are unable to take your second instalment, your booking will be cancelled and normal cancellation terms will apply.

PRICES INCLUDE ALL KNOWN AIR TAXES

We include ALL known air taxes (including fuel) at the time of costing. Many companies do not include air taxes at all, and clients are therefore hit with a surcharge of three or four hundreds of pounds just before departure. If the air taxes increase between the time of costing and your departure, we will absorb up to £50 (depending on the challenge) before passing on any increased costs. Our aim is to provide you with transparent pricing and clear instructions as to what is included in our prices and if applicable what isn't.

TYPICAL GROUP SIZE
The typical group size is 12 - 40 participants

TRAVEL INSURANCE

We can provide a comprehensive travel insurance policy for this challenge which provides cover for medical (emergency, evacuation and repatriation), cancellation and curtailment and specifically covers the activities undertaken during the challenge. You can take this out when booking. The cost is £81.90.
