We are a not-for-profit organization and we do not benefit from donors. Thus, we charge our volunteers a nominal amount as a way of fundraising.  A sliding scale fee ranges from US$ 350.00 to 1200.00, depending on the period of stay.  Volunteering periods are from one week to five months according to people's availability.

The recovered fees allow NRO face the following expenses:

1. Registration fees
2. Orientation and Nepali language initiation
3. Volunteer's accommodation and meals
4. Transportation for volunteers to and from placement
5. Supervision and periodical contacts
6. Nepal Government Taxes
7. Scholarships to benefit pupils and students from villages
8. Donations to schools, youth clubs and mothers' groups
9. Savings for a new project about abandoned street children; and eventually, another one     related to reproductive health.

Volunteer fees must be deposited upon arrival in Kathmandu, into NRO bank account. NRO will deliver a receipt for the bank deposit.  Besides NRO fee, a volunteer must contemplate the following expenses:

1. Volunteer own flight ticket.
2. Nepali Visa (one initial 60-day tourist visa costs US $30, deliverable at the     Kathmandu airport; one extension at a time for 30 days costs US $30, renewable only     three times, during same year).
3. Immunization (voluntary, not legally required, but highly recommended).
4. Travel and health insurance (to be strictly arranged from country of departure).
5. In addition, a weekly budget of up to US $25 might be necessary to cater for all other     expenses (bottled water, medicine eventually, beverages and entertainment).
