PROGRAM FEES All fees are paid directly into STAESA's bank account or to the country program director of your country of origin (preferably please make all payments into STAESA's bank account). The program fee covers administrative charges, airport pickup, first night accommodation at hotels where necessary, host family (food and accommodation), orientation and supervision. We also go the extra mile to give donations to help other organizations.
We ask for written applications from the organizations (NPOs), and funds are granted to them if they qualify and we have enough money.
Funds are given towards community development projects such as HIV/AIDS programs, classroom block building programs, orphanages, old age home, water and sanitation programs, feeding programs, women and development programs, youth development programs, administration work and poverty alleviation projects. Funds requested should fall within the above mentioned categories. We are really happy to do all these, and to make a difference in the lives of the people.
