Expense structure

Why participation fee?

VSA is not financially supported by government to host projects related to IVS.  Hence all projects are self funded with a participation fee. Given the remote location and various complexities we have tried our best to make it as affordable as possible for volunteers. Being a non-profit organization we emphasize on transparency, below is how we spend collected participation fee.

• Food, accommodation and logistics of volunteer during workcamp.

• Project setup costs. (material and logistics cost)

• Running the camp. (wages of professional like mason, carpenter, plumber etc and training local youth supported by us.)

• Office running/admin expenses. (Internet, photocopy, stationary, electricity, phone, salaries, office equipments, tools and rent etc.)

• Supporting small community project.

• International travel costs to global conferences and membership fee for networking.

• 10% for Training, meeting and seminar, cost for International travel costs to global conferences and membership fee for networking
