Money
To take part in the trip, riders will need to raise a minimum of £4,995 in sponsorship. This target will cover all your trip expenses and the guaranteed donation. For each participant we promise to donate a minimum of £1,500 from your overall sponsorship target.

For some the minimum target will be easy to achieve, for others it could seem a steep mountain to climb. Once you start putting your mind to the task it is surprising how enjoyable, satisfying and easy raising the sponsorship money can become. Use your head, get motivated and be active - you will be amazed at how many ideas you and others will have, the possibilities are endless. The thing to remember is that you have to start somewhere and no matter how small the start is, at least it is a start. If you are determined to do this, then nothing will stop you. Don't limit yourself to your friends and family - there are a lot of people out there who will happily sponsor you for amounts large and small.

Global Enduro is what's called a social enterprise, a business which makes a profit from helping others. Enduro Africa is an ethical and profitable product of Global Enduro Limited, the project generates a fee of £1,500 for Global Enduro, the company that runs and owns Enduro Africa. This fee covers our full time team, advertising, all office costs, recce trips, wages etc.

As an example, our aim for Enduro Africa 2006 was, to donate a brand new motorcycle plus a minimum cash donation of £500 per participant towards costs and maintenance. This equated to a donation of £1,815 per rider from the overall entry cost of £4,000, a healthy 45% of the sponsorship target. Many of our 113 fundraisers exceeded even our expectations and enabled us to deliver 114 motorcycles (valued at £149,910) plus a cash donation in excess of £80,000 to the charity Riders for Health. In addition to this the 2006 event also donated £11,000 to smaller projects along the actual route on the Eastern Cape, South Africa.

That's a whopping total amount of £241,430.93, or put another way a motorcycle worth £1,315 plus a cash donation of £810 per rider – Not bad for our inaugural event. We are immensely thankful to all of the Enduro Africa 2006 participants for making this possible – Well done!

A full breakdown of the 2007 rides associated costs is available to any rider that takes part after the accounts are finalised.
