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.
