Our veterinary volunteers play a critical role in the healthcare of animals breeding and welfare.

Veterinary volunteers help in the day to day activities of caring for the animals focusing on the special need of each animal They assess animals for any signs of infection and also help to keep their medical history as well as assessing their behavior.

Volunteers help to diagnose animals to identify any disease and also identify any injuries. Volunteers also help to administer medication and perform any surgical procedure as spaying and orthopedic surgeries.

Volunteers help to educate pet owners about special conditions of their animals. They also help in training of the animals. Taking dogs for walks etc.

At the veterinary center volunteer will work with other staff taking care of other house hold animals like pig, cows, sheeps etc. Volunteers will be doing home visit sometimes to help in dog traning.
This is a very fun rewarding learning experience for all volunteers.

Volunteers are advice to come with appropriate working costume and any protective wear as well as any anti allergy medication that they may need.   

Volunteers also go on medical outreach to the schools in and around the camp to give health education to the community.

Hämtning på flygplatsen på Kotoka International Airport

Volunteers are requested to send a full picture of themselves at the airport  during departure, to make easy identification and our local representative who will pick the volunteer also send the volunteer a picture of him/herself at the airport. This is to help make the pick up process easy. There is a free wifi at the airport for communication when volunteer arrives. Volunteers are advice to connect to the wifi and communicate with the rep doing the pickup, this also helps the volunteer to go through immigration process easily.

Boende

Volunteers will stay at the Sflig Volunteers house or  with a host family that will be provided by SFLIG Volunteers, which is very safe for volunteers and this will help them to adjust, adapt and know the Ghanaian culture and that of the community intern will be doing the volunteer work. The selection of a host family will deepen on the information that will be provided on the application form the volunteer will fill and submit. 


These host families are people who have been investigated and have good record and have good health. There are periodic checks to see if they are still u to standard. The accommodation is part of the program fee. Accommodation in hostiles and dormitories can sometimes be organized for group of interns from 6 upwards working on same or similar project or working at the same project site. Volunteer will have a room of her own or mostly likely to share a room with a fellow volunteer. A bed will be provided and any other necessary things like a table and chair will be provided and volunteer will have access to T.V, radio, electricity, kitchen, toilet and bath, clean water.

Mat och Dryck

Host families are responsible for providing breakfast and dinner everyday. Due to the distance between project area and home lunch can’t be provided and volunteers are advice to go with a snack. The foods served mainly consist of continental dishes comprising rice, chicken, beef, tea, coffee, bread, eggs, soup, potato, oaths, fruits, fish, etc. Local food

That is mainly made from the above, tubers, beans and/or maize is served alongside. It is also very common for an intern to find a familiar dish in restaurants in different cities. Volunteers are provided with well treated water which is purchased from certified producers of hygienically bottled or bagged water.

Volunteers with special dietary needs like vegetarian should let us know, so we can prepare their preferred meal. Those with allergies should let us know too.

During weekends volunteers can make their own special foods or eat in a nearby restaurant or order for any continental food to be delivered to them.

Detaljer vid ankomsten

Volunteers are free to arrive at any day of their choice but we advice volunteers arrive on Fridays or Saturdays, for them to have some rest and settle in before volunteer duties start on Monday (Volunteers are also allowed to determine when they want to start upon arrival). Volunteers can arrive at any time of the day but arriving in the evenings means volunteer will have to spend long time at the airport due to long queue because most  flights arrive in the evening. Therefore volunteers can look for flights that arrives mid morning or early afternoon.

Our representative will pick up volunteer to the his /her host family's accommodation. 

This program is all year round and volunteer can extend length of stay upon arrival.

Om projektet

Solutions for Life Initiative Ghana (SFLIG) connect passionate people seeking to “give back” to the very people whose lives depends on it where there is mutual benefit

Möt din programledare

SFLIG Volunteer and Internship program is an initiative developed to improve the lives of children, especially girls from orphanages and broken homes and to provide support to single mothers. Our aim is to improve the lives of people from difficult backgrounds through school enrollment, housing provision, medical care and start-up capital for single mothers. Through these endeavors we hope to alleviate poverty and promote community growth.

We are committed to achieving first six Sustainable Development Goals of the UN:

  1. No poverty
  2. zero hunger
  3. good health and well-being
  4. quality education
  5. gender equality
  6. clean water and sanitation.

We introduce volunteers to our rich hospitality and culture. Ghana cannot be compared to any other country in Africa,
We are dedicated to the concept of volunteering within our organisation. We welcome and celebrate the skills, knowledge and passion of people who are committed to making a change. We are proud to be part of their journey of self-discovery – a journey where, we find, the rewards are tangible and memorable.

SFLIG offers volunteer experiences in many different categories. These include teaching, medical, working with children and creative art centres. Any one of these categories provides the volunteer with countless opportunities to see first-hand the challenges that exist for the less privileged in Ghana and to, more importantly, have a positive impact on the lives of those they meet.

Mission

Our mission is to help connect individuals and groups looking for the opportunity to give back to society to the very people who needs their support where both parties benefit. Volunteers experience new culture and life whiles helping to better the lives of the community. 

Vision

We envisage a voluntary journey where volunteers discover themselves and receives more than they give.

Objective

Our main objective is to mobilise resource to educate and empower the less privilege especially women and girls through volunteering and internship support.
