The Refuge

The Refuge provides accommodations for our volunteers at an affordable rate. We do require our volunteers to stay in our housing in order to participate in the program.  It is important that you are in close proximity to the clinic and to other volunteers as this enables you to participate more readily in community activities and greatly enhances your overall experience.

Our apartments are fully furnished with two-bedrooms that have A/C, hot water and a complete kitchen. Linens and towels are provided. The grounds include a pavilion and pool. There is an onsite manager and security bars on the necessary windows.  The apartments are approximately one mile from the clinic and we provide transportation to and from the clinic daily. The shared room rate is $150 per week per person. You may have one to three roommates depending on the time of year and number of other volunteers.  It is possible to have your own private room at a rate of $300 per week, but is subject to availability. All payments are final and non-refundable.

If you are interested in communicating with your roommate or fellow volunteers before your arrival, please inform the volunteer coordinator and we will try our best to get you in contact with others who will be sharing your experience.

All proceeds from The Refuge go to Clinica Esperanza as part of our self-sustaining program. Your patronage is a vital part of our sustainability. Thank you!
