How We Compare to Other Organizations

As you have probably noticed in your search for a program abroad, the program fees charged by various organizations can vary significantly.

The table below compares the fees of 15 organizations for a 4-week stay in Ghana.

Volunteering abroad can be very costly. There is the international airfare, vaccinations, visas, insurance, extra sightseeing, international & local calls, and the program fee you pay to the volunteer organization. It can all add up very quickly.

We are proud to say that our program fees have remained considerably less expensive than most other organizations.
