II · The contribution
A contribution, not a price.
Terms shared through a direct conversation
The contribution terms are shared by the association during your first exchange.
The simplest way is to message us on WhatsApp (we reply in French or English). You can also reach us by email.
III · Where the money goes
Your contribution keeps Ebando alive, day to day.
Beyond the welcome and the transmission, your contribution first keeps the association running day to day: the local team, the place, its upkeep. In the past, Ebando also carried schooling grants for young people in Gabon and craft projects such as the forge in Moussossi.
IV · Terms
Why bank transfer, not card payment.
Ebando does not offer card payment. The bank transfer is Ebando's long-standing method, consistent with its status as an NGO. It is also a formal act of commitment: you take the time to fill in the transfer, just as you take the time to prepare your journey.
The bank details are sent to you during your administrative process. The balance is settled in cash (euros) on arrival.
✦ Direct exchange

The bank details, the precise terms and the confirmation of amounts are shared through direct exchange.
