Fees and reimbursement of expenses:
The volunteer osteopaths who participate in the project both in Italy and in Africa are not entitled to reimbursement of expenses of any kind, as Unity is a non-profit organization.
Tutors and project leaders may obtain reimbursement of travel expenses in case they get assigned the responsibility for carrying out a mission in Africa with other volunteer osteopaths.
Per diem and lodging:
During the mission in Africa, Unity pays a daily allowance in local currency to cover basic needs (food and personal hygiene products), including costs for housing, electricity, gas, etc.
Insurance:
The volunteer has insurance coverage for health, life, disability. repatriation, civil liability and loss of luggage.
Vaccinations:
Unity does not reimburse expenses for vaccinations required for a mission, however many ASLs (local health administrations) do not charge humanitarian workers who can produce a certificate proving they are departing with the association.
