STAY AND CONTRIBUTION
Expand Peru finances its projects through the fees (Contribution) that volunteers grant for their stay. We do not depend on international economic funds, national funds or public programs.
Accommodation
For the accommodation of volunteers, we have two options, which have been designed to ensure comfort and safety.
Residence for volunteers:
It is a pleasant place where volunteers from different parts of the world coexist. It’s very accessible from the city center, it has shared dormitories, bathroom with hot water, living room and full kitchen, wifi and international TV. This type of accommodation does not include food, but you can use the kitchen and all other services freely and at no additional cost.
Family accommodation:
It’s a unique experience. You will live with a traditional Peruvian family, experiencing, knowing and enjoying Peruvian culture closely. In addition you will learn and practice Spanish in a direct and active way. Families will provide you one bedroom, full meals (three meals per day - lunch, breakfast and dinner) and all the comforts of home. You can choose between a family in the city or one in the rural area.
