Rent for short term volunteers (less than 6 months) is 25,000 CFA and for long term volunteers (more than 6 months) is 20,000 CFA per person. This includes bills such as electricity and water, but gas must be bought on top (7000-9000 CFA for a canister, only used for cooking). The wage of the cook is 30,000 CFA to be split between the volunteers in the house. Most of the food is bought once every 8 days at the market, which is a great experience and fun to try to haggle with the local traders in Pidgin! Food shopping should cost around 5000-6000 CFA for 8 days per person. It is a good idea to be specific with the cook about what you want to eat and how much to avoid misunderstandings.
