Over het programma

Volunteers who want to do an internship in a hospital are always a great help. Although Ghana is one of the most stable countries in Africa, it is still lacking in many areas. Especially in rural areas, many people have no access to medical care or cannot afford it. Malaria is one of the most common causes of death. If you want to get to know the Ghanaian health system and share your knowledge with the local medical personnel, you are very welcome to come and join our efforts in Ghana. We work with three hospitals of various sizes with the usual wards (general surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, gynaecology, eye & ear clinic etc.). Normally there is rotation between the stations. You can discuss this with your contact person on site. The weekends can to used to travel or you can take some time after your internship.

Vrijetijdsactiviteiten

Our accommodations are located in the beautiful village of Obomeng. It is part of the Kwahu Highlands in the Eastern part of the country. Since its location is high above sea level, it offers a very pleasant climate for Europeans. During your stay you will be staying either in our volunteer house or with a host family. The Kwahu Highlands offer plenty of opportunities for day trips. At nearby Lake Volta you can take a boat trip or go swimming. Diverse hiking trails to the peaks of the mountains offer wonderful views over the valleys and the Ghanaian jungle. At the markets in the larger villages, many exciting things can be purchased, and during the rainy season, the numerous waterfalls offer an alternative shower. At Easter, people from all over Ghana come to Kwahu to celebrate the biggest festival of the country. Nothing compares to this crazy event! Anyone planning on coming to Ghana around this time should not miss the Easter celebration.

Ontmoet je organisatie

Welcome to You4Ghana! We are happy you found your way to our page. We are offering socially committed people the opportunity to participate in volunteer projects in Ghana, while educating them about the Ghanaian culture and lifestyle.

According to our motto "Work & Grow", our aim is the long-term improvement of the quality of life of the people in our projects. We specifically focus on supplying people with clean drinking water, the construction of sanitation facilities, supporting the education sector, as well as working with children. At the same time it is important to us to create a dialogue between the volunteers and the residents. By working together in projects, both sides have a lot to learn from each other. Those who approach these people with respect will gain insight into a whole new world.


We own a volunteer house in which up to 20 volunteers can live together. For those who want to experience the Ghanaian culture and everyday life even more, we also offer accommodation in host families. Whatever you decide, one thing is certain: anyone who undertakes this journey with an open and tolerance attitude will have an unforgettable time and experience incredible things.

Meine Zeit in Ghana bei Torben war absolut hervorragend. Die Betreuung und Hilfe vor Ort, um sich um sich im Land zurecht zu finden und eine tolle Zeit zu haben, waren wirklich super. Die Unterkunft im Volunteer House ist wärmstens zu empfehlen, da hier auch viele andere Volunteers (v.a. Deutsche) ...
I am Svenja from Germany. I study medicin at Ruhr-Universität Bochum and did an internship for 30 days at the Government Hospital in Obomeng.

Ich war für 6 Wochen da und habe eine Famulatur im Krankenhaus gemacht. Im Vorhinein habe ich schon all die guten Bewertungen gelesen und war gespannt, wie meine eigenen Erfahrungen sein werden. Aber ich kann all meinen Vorrednern nur zustimmen. Ich hatte in Ghana die besten 6 Wochen überhaupt. ..
