Due to the onslaught of HIV/AIDS, many children have been left with no family members to care for them, there is a low life expectancy and high infant mortality rates. Voluntary care work in Ghana is an ideal way to get involved and help improve the welfare of the children. You can contribute toward this important development work during a gap year or career break, or as a worthwhile way to spend a vacation. Volunteers with qualifications and experience are welcome but you do not need to have either to volunteer. Energy, passion, and commitment to the work at hand are all that you need.

A trip I will never ever forget, memories made forever
September 16, 2022by: Katie Turner - United KingdomProgram: Care Work in Ghana with Projects AbroadOn this trip I made best friends for life, had an insurmountable load of fun and have walked away with such amazing memories. Feeling like I made an actual difference to the community I was staying in was rewarding, and being pushed out of my comfort zone in many ways was exciting. It really was such an incredible experience and I learnt so much about communicating with people from all around the world but also from being immersed in Ghanaian culture. Projects abroad couldn’t have been better. If you are looking for a sign to go on a trip abroad, this is it! Have the guts to do this and you won’t regret it!
