Your money will go directly to the host family, Village Society, locally-employed staff and, in some cases, the Sarvodaya District Centre and Headquarters.

At the village level, it will be up to the Village Society to decide how their income is used to develop village facilities. At the District and HQ levels, any income will indirectly support the communities by directly supporting Sarvodaya’s ongoing costs such as staffing, training, management development, transport, communication, information technology etc.
Each year, Sarvodaya will publish details of how all CTI-related income has been spent.

Enhancing community skill

The CTI presents many members of our communities with the opportunity to develop new skills by working on one of our projects. It is important that we provide professional training for those who host our visitors. A training manual is being developed in association with experts from the Austrian NGO, Hilfswerk Austria, and training will  cover such areas as housekeeping, food preparation, hygiene, local marketing and health & safety. Each person directly involved with a CTI project will receive appropriate training and a certificate to recognize their training.
