Important Note

For stays of less than 4 weeks, program costs increase due to additional expenses for staff assistance and orientation in both the projects and the hostel. It is not advisable to participate in social projects for less than 4 weeks, as frequent changes in personnel can be stressful, especially for children. Shorter durations also limit volunteers’ opportunities to fully acquaint themselves with the project, making it challenging to assume responsible tasks. However, for those opting for a shorter stay, a minimum of 14 days of dedicated work is mandatory.
Additional fees for medical projects like Meru Hospital amount to $150 per month, whereas Nkoaranga Hospital charges $200. These funds are essential for ongoing facility improvements and are directly paid to the project.
The fees cover all aforementioned services and include 18% Tanzanian VAT.
Payment for the total program cost is required three weeks prior to your scheduled arrival date.

Volunteers Accommodation

Volunteers stay either in a dedicated volunteer house or in homestay accommodations arranged by the local team. Participants receive three meals daily (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) throughout the week. The accommodations are kept tidy and orderly, with shared rooms based on gender. WiFi is available but hot water are not 100% guaranteed.

Housing is conveniently located near essential services like banks, ATMs, currency exchanges, restaurants, cafes, and shopping areas. All placement sites are within a 30 to 1hours commute from the accommodations. Shared bathrooms are typical, and there’s a lounge available for relaxation, reading, or watching movies.
