The amounts vary by placement and depending on what is included, but a proportion of the fee goes to cover in-country costs (either directly to the local project or through our local staff overseas), and a proportion to cover our UK costs. We try to maximize the proportion spent in-country so that money goes into the local communities and economy.

Fee levels are set to match costs (on a non-profit basis) and any surplus monies are distributed to the overseas organisations and charities we work with.
