Housing
Volunteers are hosted in one of two houses.
For both houses, there are locks on the doors and mosquito nets
on the beds.
The first house
has 1 double-occupancy room. There is an indoor flush toilet and bathtub shower.
Should there be a lack of water pressure, a barrel of water is available for force flushing
the toilet and bucket bathing in the shower.
The
second house has 2 single-occupancy rooms. There is a KVIP latrine for this home,
and volunteers bathe from a bucket in an outdoor bathing room.
From these accommodations, volunteers can walk to their activities
at the Have Health Centre, the Roman Catholic Primary School
or the Have Technical Institute. Volunteers working on the Moringa
Farm will need to travel approximately 7 minutes by tro-tro
to reach the farm.
Meals
All meals are prepared by a cook who delivers the meals to
the accommodations in which a volunteer is staying. Volunteers
who have special dietary needs or food allergies should note
their needs on their volunteer application so Village Volunteers
can notify the EDYM staff in advance.
Drinking Water
Purified (sachet) drinking water is provided for volunteers.
Electricity
There is electricity, however, there are frequent power cuts.
Volunteers are recommended to bring flashlights, candles and
matches.
Internet Access
The nearest internet cafe is in Ho, a 40-minute tro-tro ride
from the volunteer accommodations.
Laundry
Volunteers will be provided with water so they can launder
their own clothing.
