Volunteering offers you the chance to create unforgettable memories, forge new friendships and discover a unique sense of perspective outside your normal life. Let yourself be welcomed into a wider inclusive community and help to make a real difference in the world
There are many different reasons people have for wanting to volunteer overseas; to travel, experience new and exciting cultures, go on a journey of self-exploration. Perhaps you’re a gap year student newly emerging from the educational system and eager to explore the world; or a working adult looking to get away from the stresses of everyday working life to gain some perspective; or a recently retired person who has always wanted the time and freedom to travel, discover and give something back.
We’ve seen all of these types of people volunteer in Ghana, and more! Whether you’re passionate about the environment, improving healthcare and sustainable development, or you’re just looking for some way to make a difference; we have a place for you.
There is no boundary or criteria; just a shared desire to help, work alongside with and appreciate the diverse local communities you’ll be living in. Volunteering is not to ‘fix’ flaws within a culture, but to work towards the small and meaningful changes we can achieve, help aid sustainable development and to join the community in celebrating this rich and wonderful culture.
We believe that our placements offer an exceptional combination of affordable, impactful and fulfilling volunteering. Join our team for an authentic and life-changing experience!
Our projects are sensitively designed and intelligently focused, so you can help us achieve real and meaningful impact that will actually be making a lasting difference.
Since we don’t run the large overheads that some larger companies do, our weekly costs are kept as low as possible, to make volunteering more accessible, and to allow you to stay and help that little bit longer!
Volunteers are welcome for any length of time (from 1 to 12 or more weeks), and there is no set start date to placements, meaning you can organise your trip around your schedule
Our newly-refurbished volunteer house is perfect for ensuring that our volunteers have a comfortable and relaxing space to come back to after a hard day’s work.
Accra is the diverse, rich and colourful heart of Ghanaian culture – you’ll be ideally placed for our project locations and to access many exciting weekend trip destinations.
