  Free accommodation is a part of the exchange. But given we need to continue to renovate the site, get gas for meals preparations, and other meals expenses, a daily contribution of $5 is requested of workways as hosting can be a bit costly as you would testify. And as we have noted from hosting for over 5 years. We do host multiple volunteers at once to ensure you can connect with other guests, and also be flexible in your help hours.

  Why does workaway.info allow listings of hosts who charge money?

  In developing countries (Where most hosts are involved in charity work or community development) some of our hosts may ask for a small donation to help the host family or charity (often less then 5 dollars per day) Workaway will allow this listing when the donation goes directly to the family or charity and is just to cover the cost of the volunteer‘s stay.  (This will be clearly marked on the host listing).
  We will strictly not allow listings posted by agents, “middle men” or projects who we feel are looking to profit from a volunteers stay.
