 Where the money goes?

We charge a fee to volunteers for all our project placements in order to cover the overseas costs of volunteering and the costs of running our organization HQ in Tanzania. Maasai Land Explorer’s only source of funding is volunteer fees and private individual or kindly organizational donations and without charging a fee we would not be able to exist. Fee levels are set to match costs (on a non-profit basis) and any surplus monies are distributed to the overseas organizations and charities we work with.

The entire Maasai Land Explorer organization relies on small volunteer contributions fees to manage program for volunteers, stay alive, and attain our goals – empowering local communities and bringing westerners to meet eastern traditions. With these fees, we support our volunteers by covering as much of the volunteers’ costs as possible.
