• Facilitate access to the University’s Occupational Health service and pay for the necessary medical vaccinations and anti-malaria tablets;
• Cover the in-country accommodation and meals (i.e. weekday breakfasts and evening meals), which will be arranged by Azizi Life;
• Cover the  transport from the airport to Muhanga and back, and daily travel to and from the volunteer projects;
• Pay for the in-country support provided by Azizi Life and basic project activity costs;
• Provide insurance cover for the duration of the trip, including emergency evacuation.

Volunteers will be responsible for the following expenses:
