Ghana remains largely undeveloped in terms of responsible tourism and international volunteering. Because of this, Ghana maintains a strong authentic culture and presents many opportunities for volunteers to assist in this African developing Nation.

Voluntary Work

Health Care Volunteer Project:
There is a choice of medical and health care volunteer projects available. Below is a sample of what you could be doing:
  • Physiotherapy assistance
  • Help to treat basic conditions and minor injuries  
  • Childcare
  • Medical administration work
Orphanage Volunteer Placement:
There are several orphanages which need volunteer help with:
  • Caring for Africa's children
  • Supervising and coordinating daily activities for the children
  • General school maintenance work i.e. sweeping, cleaning etc
  • Teaching English, music, games, sports etc.
Teaching Volunteer Placements:
After the orientation week, you will observe Ghanaian teachers for a further week as your training. This is a real opportunity to experience teaching first hand in a very different setting:
  • Teach children of all ages
  • Teach games and songs to small children
  • Teach English
  • Teach older children subjects you are comfortable with or believe will benefit them i.e. maths

Location

The capital of Ghana, Accra.
