In its first year, Passports with Purpose raised $7,400 for Heifer International. In 2009, Passports with Purpose blew past its initial goal (which was to raise $14,000 to build a school in Cambodia) raising nearly $30,000 to add improvements to the basic school. The school, built through our partnership with American Assistance for Cambodia is now complete. In 2010, with overwhelming support and
assistance from the travel blog community, we raised $64,128, over 25% more than our original goal of $50,000 and built an entire village in India. Construction is also complete. In 2011, through our partnerships with the participating bloggers, we raised $90,000 to build two libraries in Zambia through a partnership with Room to Read. In 2012 raised $112,000 to build 5 wells in Haiti through a partnership with Water.org. We raised $84,000 in 2013 to build two schools in Mali. In 2014 the fundraiser brought in $25,000 to help five families and their communities in Honduras learn to farm sustainably for five years.
