What we can offer you: the hostel service (guest house) details




Hostel-service (guest house) for volunteers and ethical tourists


We offer you the opportunity to support our small efforts by participating in our activities, in those from other entities or organisations, or simply by a pleasure journey.
The choice is yours: anyway, you will concretely help an African NGO, enabling it to exist and carry out its mission and purpose.
Very important: with your mere presence, you will support the local production (micro)circuit.

We remind you that this hostel service (guest house) is the main self-financing source for an African nonprofit organisation and its activities.
