    Afhentning i lufthavnen i Lilongwe International Airport

    Programs begin every Monday, and volunteers are required to arrive the day prior, for orientation before the project. Your accommodation on the Sunday is included in the program fees.

    A free airport pickup is included when arriving to Lilongwe International Airport (LLW). You must arrive between 06:00 - 16:00 on Sunday. Your transfer will be part of a group departure, so you may need to wait until your group is ready to leave the airport.

    There are two transfer times you may catch, depending on when you land:

    Option A - Sunday: 12:30
    Option B - Sunday: 17:30

    ***If you arrive ahead of time, make sure you return to your meeting point at the appointed time as we may not be able to wait on any late arrivals.***

    If arriving outside the pickup times you can book a private transfer and any extra night’s accommodation for an additional fee.

    Alternatively, if arriving early you could wait at the arrival’s terminal for the pickup time, book accommodation at the airport and meet us during the pickup times or make your own way to the project (we will advise on how to do this).

    From the international airport to the Mangochi accommodation, it takes approx 4hours 45min by road to the accommodation.

    Indkvartering

    You will be accommodated at our centre in simple, shared rooms of 4-8 people of single gender. Western-style flush toilets are available, and laundry facilities are limited, so expect to wash your clothes by hand. Bucket and brushers provided. Wifi is not included so please buy a local sim if you need data. Fans and bed linen are provided. Rooms are lockable but no safety box is provided, so we suggest bringing a padlock for your bag to store valuables. 

    We encourage mindful use of resources like water, electricity, and paper. In Mangochi, electricity runs at 230V with a 50Hz frequency, using Type G plugs (around 15 amps), so please bring the right adapters and converters for your devices.

    There are numerous local transportation options, including mini-vans, and taxis, that run every 30 minutes to the centre of Mangochi. The downtown area of Mangochi, which is about 20 to 30 minutes’ drive from the centre, has ATMs and Western Union transfer services. There are local stores close by that can be reached on foot in just 5–10 minutes.

    *Accommodation may be in our local centre or in close proximity, depending on availability and time of year.
