Description

You will be involved in a range of tasks such as digging holes for the foundation, laying roof tiles, mixing cement or building septic tanks. You should not mind getting your hands dirty doing anything that is asked of you. The exact task you will be doing depends on which stage the building process is at when you join.

Highlights

It is one of the administrative districts in the Volta Region of Ghana and is bordered by the Hohoe District to the north, the Jasikan District to the east, the North Dayi to the south, and the beautiful Volta Lake forming the western border. About 70,000 people reside in the district and are mostly Ewe speaking nationals. There are several tourist attractions in the area with the Volta Lake, with its scatted beautiful islands, providing good sightseeing activities. uVolunteer believes that you should have a well balanced work and play schedule.

Your time away from volunteering is open for you to decide your activities. You may decide to take advantage of the local culture and spend time within the community over the weekend. Otherwise, there is ample opportunity to explore Ghana and all it has to offer. Our local representative, will advise you on which areas are safe for travel.
