    We are a non-profit organization (NGO) and as such we do not distribute any surplus income as profit or dividends. Nonetheless, just as a      for-profit organization, we have costs for our operations which we need to cover in order to be able to exist. By being a non-profit, we can keep costs down and make our placements more accessible than other programs. We aim to keep our operational costs as low as possible by working efficiently, ensuring that we can make a real and positive impact in the present and are able to keep the organization moving forward into the future. One of our main sources of regular income are the financial contributions from our volunteer/interns for their placements, without these we would not be able to pay our staff or sustain our organization. Your financial contribution also directly funds our projects, so you are having a positive impact just by signing up.
