-Administrative Expense

-Project Support

As result, we administer part of the participation fee in collaboration with the experts on the field of volunteer's area of interest to support the intended projects.

Our host families are all well screened based on the CLICAF'S qualities of love, care, high sense of humor etc. The idea of this placement is as a result of high demand for it and our believe of ushering and proving our volunteers the opportunity to learn our culture and have a true feel of our Ghanaian way of family life
