The World Vision 40 Hour Challenge is an annual fundraising event where students commit to going without something for 40 hours to raise money and bring hope to thousands of children living in poverty across more than 40 countries.

Rangitoto College has a proud history of supporting this challenge. By taking part, students not only raise vital funds but also build awareness of the impact poverty has on the lives of young people around the world.

How It Works

For 40 continuous hours, students give up something they rely on—whether it’s food, transport, or even their mobile phone. This experience helps build empathy and a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those living in less fortunate circumstances.

Our Impact

In previous years, Rangitoto College students have raised over $15,000, providing much‑needed support for vulnerable children living through hardship.

Be part of this powerful movement—join the 40 Hour Challenge, make a sacrifice, and help change lives for children around the world.
