pricing and Packages
A standard package includes one month’s accommodation in our six-bed dormitory, a food allowance covering two meals a day, and laundry service, alongside project coordination & support. Upgrades to private and self-contained chalets are available.
Upon arrival, you will receive orientation on the projects and will be introduced to our staff and other volunteers. After the initial orientation, you will continue to receive support from the project coordinators through weekly meetings and catch-ups over dinner.
We expect a contribution of around six hours per day, depending on the project. There are loads of activities to keep busy during spare time. If you want to explore other parts of the beautiful Malawi, you can take a break during your ‘Volunteer Package’ and the days carried over.
Malawian volunteers are also welcomed at Butterfly to share and learn new skills but must also cover their transport and living costs as unfortunately we do not have the means to fund these expenses yet.
We can provide special packages for groups of 6 up to 30, including school groups- Contact Us!
