The sentence in question was taken from line 6-7:
現金収入が少ないため、費用をかけずに行わなければならないからである。

First, my attempt at translation: "Because the income was low, they didn't pay
the costs while it was performed."

I just don't know how to translate a sentence which has two parts giving a
cause. It seems like there are only causes, but no consequences xD

Second, 費用をかけずに. The only interpretation for かける which seemed to make sense in
this context was number 3 on jisho: "3. to take (time, money); to expend
(money, time, etc.)​" <http://jisho.org/search/kakeru> But I feel rather
insecure about it, so I wanted to ask you for confirmation.

How to interprete this から?
First I have to quote more context from your original article:

> ...は、村人が協力しあって行う。現金収入が少ないため、費用をかけずに行わなければならないからである。

The logic here is as the following:

現金収入が少ない (Income is low) ==> 費用をかけずに行わなければならない (have to do it without paying
the cost) ==> 村人が協力しあって行う (the villager help each other to do it).

So in the original sentence that you quoted, "ため" and "から" both show "causes",
and the final "consequence" is in the sentence before.

My translation attempt is:  
This is because, with the low income, they had to do it without paying the
costs.

I think your interpretation of かける is correct.
