Over het programma

Being involved in our renovation work at schools and health centres is a fulfilling way to volunteer – you will see immediate results and experience how the work can transform health and learning environments. In addition to being involved with this work during the week, you will also have a chance to travel on weekends and learn more about Ghana, and our culture and history.

Our partner institutions (schools and health centres) usually face challenges when it comes to maintenance e.g. many have broken chairs/tables and require work done to the structures, such as painting, plastering, extensions of classrooms, roofing sheet replacement. Many also require the building of additional facilities, such as putting up a kitchen block and proper hygienic toilet facilities. In many cases, it is a safety priority to renovate these essential facilities, but we also aim to create a nice learning environment.

 One major challenge to the institutions is the cost of the renovation works. The budget ranges depending on the work that needs to be done, but often starts at 100 USD equivalent. In order to complete the renovation work, we rely and expects assistants from volunteers to set up fundraising initiative to fund the cost of the work. You will be able to see first-hand how your funds are spent, seeing where every penny will be invested during your time as a volunteer and the difference it is making.

In order to ensure the renovation is done to high quality and meets safety standards, volunteers work together with the TANF team and local experts in masonry, carpentry and painting etc.

The role as a volunteer will be working hand with our entire team towards renovation projects, such as painting etc, For those with zero experience will be supervised by a professional team member to ensure great and safety results. Volunteer should expect memorable experience that will give enough reason to return.

Ontmoet je organisatie

We work in Ghana to provide impoverished, orphaned and street children with Health Care and Education.
We need volunteers to help with teaching in one of our partner schools (any subject of your preferred choice), helping in local hospitals (i.e. during child delivery in the Maternity Unit), holding HIV/Aids awareness talks etc. These are only a few examples of the things you could be doing here in Ghana and we are willing to accommodate you with any skills you may have. If you have an idea in which area you would like to volunteer you can also let us know and we will see if such an opportunity is available.
