FEES STRUCTURE:
Because we depend on gifts and donations from friends and well-wishers, all volunteers need to cover their living expenses while with us. Below is the breakdown:
Children - $8 per child per day
Adults - $18 per person per day
The fees are payable before arrival at the organizations offices by wire to the organization's account. This helps the organization to prepare for the Guest(s) before they arrive.
The money paid covers room and meals and any transportation needs right from the first day of arrival from the Airport and last day when you are supposed to fly back home – taking you to the Airport. Covers Electricity, Security, water…
We however request that you please consider blessing this program in any way you feel led to.
We have a lot more ministry information to send you and will do after you confirm your coming.
Please write back to us so we know about your decision to come and any other thoughts you think we need to know about before you come.
That information may include among other things - whether one is a vegetarian, if one has any allergies and the like….
Please bring anything else that would be helpful to this program that you can leave behind.

Volunteers who wish to go beyond Jinja foot their own bills.
However, you are free to do as you wish any time that you are not expected to be working.
The locals are very welcoming and would be more than happy to entertain you or show you some of the local attractions - particularly animals, pieces of art, cultural attires, and local foods.
If you may want to spend some time in Uganda before or after volunteering to see more of the country you can survive on as little as $30 US a day traveling in Uganda. You can also spend much more if you want a bit of luxury.
Assignment Completion Letter
Each and every volunteer that successfully completes his/her assignment will receive a completion letter signed by our Volunteer Coordinator and Executive Director.
Certificate of Merit
In addition to getting an assignment completion letter, you will receive a certificate of merit in recognition of your invaluable contribution towards changing the lives of indigenous communities. These will be handed over during a fare well diner organized by management of TRICH Ministries.
