Terms of participation

Applications

Submitting an application does not guarantee a place. We review every application and will tell you by email whether you have been accepted, waitlisted or not selected for that cohort. Places are confirmed only once the fees for the cohort have been paid.

Fees and payment

Fees for each cohort are shown on the cohort's page and in your acceptance email. Fees are paid via M-Pesa through our payment provider, and a receipt is emailed to you after each successful payment. Someone else may pay on your behalf; the receipt will go to the payer and to you.

Refunds and transfers

If you can no longer attend, tell us as early as you can at yatsarinternational@gmail.com. Refund and transfer requests are considered case by case, taking into account how close to the start date the request is made and the costs already committed. Where a cohort is cancelled by Yatsar, fees paid for it are refunded in full.

Taking part

Cohorts are practical and interactive. We ask participants to attend sessions, take part in discussions and group work, complete the practical challenges, and treat fellow participants and facilitators with respect. We may ask a participant whose conduct repeatedly disrupts the programme to leave, without a refund.

Content and materials

Programme materials are provided for your personal learning and may not be reproduced or distributed commercially without our written permission.

Photos and stories

We sometimes photograph sessions and ask participants to share their stories. We will always ask before publishing anything that identifies you, and you can say no.

Privacy

How we handle your personal data is described in our privacy policy.
