Financial Contribution

Use your creativity

You support the programs and the community with the money you provide

Aldeas de Paz works hard to keep its costs to an absolute minimum and offers financial transparency by practicing an open book policy


Your Share in the Costs

The calculation of your minimum Donation is set up so that the longer you stay, the less you give per week. We do this to encourage longer stays, recognizing that longer stays lead to more significant volunteer work and more energy contributed in the form of donated time in place of money! Check out how your money is spent and read our Financial Reports

Many people successfully fundraise with the help of Digital Fundraising, an online company which specialises in assisting volunteers to successfully raise sponsorship for for their trip! Click here to learn more!
