Join the Solutions For Life Initiative Ghana (SFLIG) in this program and support activities at an orphanage home. Volunteers help care for the children—especially babies and toddlers—by bathing, feeding, dressing, and playing with them.

Working at an orphanage is likely to be one of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences of your life. Assist in the care of destitute and abandoned children and orphans, some of whom have lost their parents to HIV/AIDS. Day-to-day tasks include:
- Helping with cooking, cleaning, and feeding the younger kids at mealtimes
- Arranging games and fun activities
- Helping school-age children with their homework
- Monitoring the cleanliness of all the children and teaching good hygiene habits

You can also assist with teaching duties, benefiting many of the children through a little one-on-one tutoring. There may also be basic building and repair work at the orphanage. 

Some experience working with children is preferred; as is a responsible, enthusiastic, and compassionate attitude. Initiative and self-motivation are important. This is an ideal program for participants who are on a career break, gap year, or vacation.
