Fees

Marahaba is staffed 100% by volunteers and relies on a symbolic fee of $30 per term (10 weeks span) per child. The fees help us pay our venue hiring cost and covers our educational materials and resources.

All payment fees must be paid in advance (i.e. beginning of each term). These fees cover the whole term regardless of attendance. Please click here to read about the different available payment options that we accept.
