Costs
We ask volunteers to pay $400 for every month they spend working with RWEYOWA. This is to be paid in full at the start of the volunteer period, either on arrival in Uganda or before the participant leaves their home country. The amount covers all accommodation costs and food for the time spent with RWEYOWA.
