Our 2-week Care & Community Projects in Ghana are based in either Cape Coast or the Akuapem Hills. In both locations, you will be hosted by a local family, which allows you to become fully immersed in the Ghanaian way of life. Volunteers based in Cape Coast will spend two weeks working in an orphanage or a local school. By putting in a new floor or painting a mural on a neglected wall, you will be making a valuable and lasting contribution to the children's daily lives. Volunteers in the Akuapem Hills will become part of a small friendly community. In the mornings you will be working on a community project, helping paint and renovate a local school. In the afternoons you will work at one of the care projects in the Hills, playing games and arranging activities for the children.
Program Highlights
Wherever you volunteer you will leave an enduring impression on the children by giving them the extra attention, love, and care that is lacking in their daily lives.
Over the weekend, we'll take you to visit either one of Ghana's palm fringed beaches for some well deserved rest and relaxation.
Volunteers can go to the Kakum Rainforest Reserve near Cape Coast, where you can hike through the jungle and experience the canopy walkway high in the trees.
On the one month special, volunteers will get to experience both the regions of Cape Coast and the Akuapem Hills, switching between the two halfway through the month.
