OLPC Africa – Ghana Budget
Oliver Takacs, Derek Richardson
Flight:
There are numerous options for our route:
New York City – Kigali (orientation) – Accra – New York City
The cheapest fare seems to be:
Return flight to Kigali (current cheapest price, through London or Brussels, with Kenya Airways or Brussels Airlines) - $1921 per person
Return flight between Kigali and Accra (cheapest current price flying Kenya Airways) - $1201
Accommodation:
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.
Storing the laptops:
Our local NGO partner provides storage for the laptops. There will be no cost associated for this safe storage.
Food:
Typically food is very cheap in Ghana, I estimate a nominal $5 per day 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.
The cost estimate for the team for the duration of deployment:
$6244 (flight for two)
$900 (accommodation for two)
$315 (food expense)
$100 (domestic transportation)
$7559 Estimated total
Sponsors:
There are possible sponsors, we are currently looking. The team members are also willing to commit their own resources within their ability in case of unexpected spike in certain expenses.
