Will I be safe volunteering?

• Yes, we recognize our responsibility to do the utmost to provide a secure and unthreatening environment for you during your trip. We have local representatives who can physically reach you in not more than 25minutes from your project location. We select families who have over the years established their integrity and morality in their communities and homes that are fenced, well protected, you have a secured private room and a community where the people are well known to be very hospitable and friendly. Project directors and host families have been oriented and groomed to be part of the Elghana family and missions so from the office of Elghana, to your home, to your work, you are with Elghana, you are with people who know, appreciate and understand the value of your presence and contribution.

Will there be other volunteers while am at the project?

• Apart from the group projects, if coming alone or with a friend or family or few friends to volunteer, we have several communities and projects we work in, so we always have projects open for volunteers all year round. We therefore allow volunteers to apply and come randomly as per the date of the available flight and maybe the leave from work or school and period which they can be on project; This makes our programe attractive and gives ample options for the volunteers to plan themselves; It is thus not necessary that you will find other volunteers at your specific project that you are working at; you may arrive to meet another volunteer who is just leaving or about to leave; You may also arrive and meet many volunteers at one place at a time though we highly discourage that to avoid duplication of duties and develop contacts with members of the community so you can learn the culture of that community and make friends. However you will meet at one point in your stay with other volunteers whom we have put in the same area and maybe working on same or a different project and share experiences;

Why is the fees of Elghana very low, comparative to other organizations I have come accross.?

• Because we are directly involved in the projects, we do not recruit and send volunteers to other organizations. We work with you on the projects on the fields. Truth is we receive volunteers on behalf of some of these organizations. We are happy to work with them and understand they have to ask you to pay more for the same service because they need to kep their office running. Thus if you are applying to us directly, then you shall pay less. With our offices located in Africa too, it means all money you spend on volunteering stays in Africa, where it is needed most to offer an intervention for a poor child, orphaned and disadvantaged child, employment for an underprivileged youth, support for community based organizations and initiatives, and finally, our cost of operation is also less. So you still have to pay less for the same services that your colleague shall pay more for.
