Return flight between Accra and Kigali:
$1121 per person (current cheapest price) – for two people attending orientation

There are motels offered online for about $200 a week per room. But our local NGO partner offered assistance. This price will be cut. We are estimating maximum $100 a week for the team.

Transportation in Ghana:
The main coach company is STC which serves major cities and many long distance domestic locations. The fare is cheap. In the cities there are taxis and “Tro-Tro”s (any sort of vehicle designated for use of public transportation) available. They are inexpensive. I estimate $50 per person for transportation inside Ghana.

$4683 (flight for three)
$2242 (additional flight to Kigali for two)
$1350 (accommodation for three)
$472 (food expense)
$150 (domestic transportation)
$8897 Estimated total
