Volunteer Role
There are many volunteer options available on this programme, each of which give you the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in city or rural life right at the very heart of this country.
The range of projects includes:
- Teaching
- HIV/AIDS education and awareness
- Healthcare work and medical clinics
- Orphanage work and foster home programmes
- Community development projects
- Ecotourism projects
- Construction projects
- Working with children with special needs
- Volunteering with street children
Project placements may depend on your previous experience in that field (although this is certainly not a requirement), and on what you hope to gain from your time in Ghana. If you let us know which areas you are most interested in at the time of booking, we will try our best to find the most suitable project for you.
As part of this volunteer package volunteers will get a week long guided tour around Ghana.
