You might be wondering why there is a fee for our trips at all– Why would it cost money to “volunteer”? Rest assured, we are a registered Honduran NGO, so we don’t make a profit from these trips. All fees cover the costs of your visit or directly benefit the people you’re coming to help.
The people of Roatán are often paid very little by their employers since the minimum wage in Honduras is so low. But, because of the high number of wealthy foreigners who live on the island, the cost of living is actually quite high.
Providing fair compensation to the people who pick you up at the airport, cook for you, or interpret for you helps to create stable homes – lifting families out of poverty. We strive to provide fair compensation for everyone we work with, and your trip costs help us do that.
