If you're on a gap year, summer placement, or career break and want to get your hands dirty, our Community Building project in Ghana may be right for you. Volunteers are based in the Akuapem Hills, just over an hour north of Accra. You will join a team of Projects Abroad volunteers and local people constructing and renovating simple buildings in the local communities. In many areas of Ghana, thousands of families live in inadequate accommodation and children attend school in crumbling buildings. Our construction project allows them to move to new, better quality homes and for the children to receive an education in secure, new classrooms.
Program Highlights
This is a great opportunity to get involved in a rural project and become an integral part of the local community.
Our full time regional coordinators live nearby and visit the placements regularly, so you'll always have full support from Projects Abroad.
Building work takes place early in the morning and late in the afternoon to avoid the hot midday sun; so you'll have plenty of time to get involved in Ghanaian life.
Many volunteers immerse themselves in the local community by helping around the kindergarten class or playing soccer with some of the school children once the building work has finished for the day.
