Important Trip Info

Learn more about the Philippines trip experience:

Tens of thousands of children across the Philippines receive food through Convoy of Hope’s Children’s Feeding Initiatives.

To help these children and their families, Convoy of Hope Field Teams work alongside local staff to better equip key places of service. Currently, leaders are requesting teams to help construct better-equipped kitchens to facilitate food preparation.

Along with helping children through building projects such as this, team members will engage with children and their families with time, laughter, and a message of hope.

Field Teams receive materials for preparation, fieldwork and follow-up. Convoy of Hope staff coordinates logistical work and field preparations of this Convoy of Hope Field Team.

Teams come alongside staff at our program locations and tackle construction, agriculture and other projects, with opportunities to interact with children.

We work closely with our in-country team to determine the specific projects your team will take part in and will communicate that to you 60 days prior to your trip.

What Kind of Projects Will I Be Working On In THE PHILIPPINES?

THIS SOUNDS GREAT, BUT HOW MUCH IS IT GOING TO COST?

Ground Cost

$900 /person for 8 nights
$100 /day for longer trips up to 10 nights

What does this cover?

Ground costs are the basic trip expenses that each individual on the team will be responsible to raise. The cost covers things like housing, transportation, food, insurance, trip coordination and hosting, preparation resources, and other trip necessities.

Flight Cost

*Starting at $1,200/person.

What does this cover?

Flights costs are always variable, but we work with our internal travel agent to book airfare in coordination with you and your group. Typically, flight costs start at:

  • $600 for U.S. trips
  • $800 for Haiti trips
  • $1,200 for the Philippines and Africa

Project Cost

$9,000 per team.

What does this cover?

Project costs are used to set-up and purchase the materials for the project you and your group will be working on. This covers things like pre-trip planning, materials, transportation, payment to local workers, government fees.

The estimated trip costs are exactly that: estimates. The specific and final costs will be communicated during the application approval process.

Trip costs can exceed the estimates provided. This calculator is intended to help you gather a ballpark estimate for your group.

Every participant must meet the following criteria:

  • 16-years-old or older for international trips and 13-years-old or older for U.S.-based trips. Certain trips, noted in the description, are only open to those 18+.
  • In good health.
  • Consent to and pass a background check.

Currently, we are not able to accommodate individuals who are not connected with a team.

Field Teams exist to connect partners with opportunities to serve  people through Convoy of Hope. Field Teams consist of people from churches, universities, and other groups or organizations.

Field Teams are open to those who are 16-years-old and older for international travel (certain trips require 18+) and 13-years-old and older for U.S.-based trips. It should be noted that many of our group opportunities include construction-oriented work. Please look closely to see the type of work required of each opportunity, and keep this in mind when deciding on the team members from your group.

Field Teams help Convoy of Hope accomplish our goals around the world. Because of this, different teams may serve through different projects and opportunities. Currently, most of our teams will help with construction projects that serve our Children’s Feeding initiative. Additionally, most teams will spend time with children and others who are served through Convoy of Hope.

We don’t list every possible date for your teams to serve as there are many changing factors, and that list would be near impossible to keep for each place of service. In every place, however, there are multiple windows of opportunity throughout the entire year, except for a break around Christmas. Please let us know via email or your application of 2 or 3 windows of time (a Saturday-Saturday works best in the Western Hemisphere), and a place(s) that interests you, and we will work to find a time that works for both you and the field.
