Program Cost
At Africa Sustainable Tourism Care Foundation (ASTCF), we offer very affordable program fees with high-quality service and a level of transparency to all our volunteers and interns. We work hard to make our prices as reasonable as possible while maintaining our personalized service and standards of excellence. Our fees reflect unmatched support for the volunteer and real service to sustainable projects in the community. The program fee covers the cost of decent homestay accommodation or in the volunteer’s guest house, meals, orientation, and in-country program support during your entire volunteer stay. Our program fees are determined according to the length of stay.
Volunteers are required to pay a deposit of US $150 to secure their placement. A deposit is included as part of the program fee, it is not an additional charge. Full payment of program fees is due on arrival in Uganda.
(ASTCF reserves the right to change its policies, review costs, and inform volunteers accordingly before their arrival. All fees and arrangements on this website remain final.)
Please Note: No extra charges such as application or processing fees exist. The program fee outline below is exactly what you will pay. However, we encourage all our prospective volunteer to set up a fundraising for their project donation using the GoFundMe platform before they arrive at the project site in Uganda.

Airport Pick-up
Our program coordinator will meet volunteers at Entebbe International Airport in Entebbe town upon arrival, after which you will be transferred to your project site. If the volunteer’s project placement is in Kampala, you will be transferred directly to your project site after being picked up from the airport. If a volunteer’s project is in Fort Portal, you will spend the night in Kampala at the Guest Inn and transport you to our project site the next day.
NB: Airport Pick-Up will attract a fee of 150 USD.
