Rules

An act which is honest and meant well when not thought through can be more harmful than helpful. Therefore, we ask our volunteers to follow a couple of simple rules.

Please do NOT give money or pay the villagers for things they did not do or little things that should not be paid for (e.g. they would have done the things anyway).

Unfortunately, as a ‘white person (mainly for African countries) or a tourist, you may face a certain form of discrimination since you are from a developed country and you have more money. Villagers may try to take advantage of this and may try to ask you for money for little things they do. Do not give them the money. This will only further enforce their idea of mzungu (white person/foreigner in the Swahili language) = they will only ask for more and more money.
