About accommodation
The accommodation type we arrange for volunteers is the family stay type. This means that volunteers stay with a family as their host. Staying with a host family is very ideal to offer the volunteer a cultural immersion and long term friends who can support the volunteer in knowing the environment and cultures of the people within which you are leaving. In the home of the host family, volunteers have access to modern toilet and bath, kitchen, lounge, television, radio, electricity, water, dinning table and a living room. We carefully select host families whose homes are lively making living with a host family more fun. host families take volunteers to many events including traditonal wedding ceremonies and local tours. In most cases, it's one volunteer to one room. Occasionally, there may be two volunteers to one room. Matching volunteers to host families and pairing volunteers in a room is done by picking needed information from the volunteers. The host families are consistently screened with their information updated on regular basis to make sure they meet our standards and also match volunteers we place with them

About the food
Host families are responsible for the provision of the volunteer's breakfast, lunch and dinner all days. In some instances, due to the distance between project site and home, volunteers go along with a lunch pack. The foods served are mainly continental dishes comprising rice, chicken, beef, tea, coffee, bread, eggs, soup, potato, oats, fruits, fish, corn, etc. Local foods are served alongside and are made mainly from the above, tubers, beans and corn.We have to mention that it is very common for a volunteer to find a familiar dish in a restaurant in the cities.

Drinking Water
Drinking water for our volunteers is an issue we take seriously and make sure that volunteers drink well treated water. Some companies are into the manufacture of such water that are well treated and hygienically bottled or bagged. We have instructed all our host families to serve you with only treated and safe water sealed by recognized companies

Laundry
Generally, your host brother, sister or mother assists you with your laundry but it is not an obligation, learn to wash your clothings with your hands in a couple of buckets buckets, enjoy the sun drying your clothes and smell the African aroma in your clothes

General living
You might find yourself washing clothes with your hands, cooking on firewood and discussing politics, sports or religion around a bonfire. It is a unique opportunity to become deeply immersed in the African culture.
