Construction of the school
April 19, 2025by: Stephan Tritten - SwitzerlandProgram: Construction Volunteering Opportunities in GhanaI had the chance to spend some time in 2021 with Seth, Naomi and the children. That was a beautiful experience that i would highly recommend to anyone. I have participated in construction, in building some walls of new classrooms of the school.

Thank you again for volunteering with us and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors. Thank you for recommending us! Kindest regards, SMWEF Team
One of the most meaningful experiences I’ve ever had.
March 18, 2025by: Schirli Goldberger - SwitzerlandProgram: Childcare Volunteer Project in GhanaI’ve traveled a lot, but volunteering for SMWEF was one of the most inspiring and meaningful experiences I’ve ever had. Seth and Naomi are incredibly kind and welcoming, and Naomi’s cooking is amazing. The accommodation is cozy and equipped with Western-style washrooms. The project is located in rural Ghana, where you can experience the country’s authentic culture. I even had the unique opportunity to attend a wedding and a funeral, which gave me a deep insight into their traditions and way of life. The organization’s work is inspiring and crucial. In a region known for child trafficking, they fight every day to rescue children and give them a chance for a better future through education. The children and the teachers in the school are simply amazing. I enjoyed everyday with them and I miss them a lot. Many important projects and plans are still in progress, and volunteers are essential in helping to make them happen. If you’re looking to make a real impact, this is the perfect opportunity. Just go for it! ?
Dear Schirli, Thank you so much for your glowing review and volunteering with SMWEF, Schirli! We're thrilled to hear that your experience with SMWEF and at the centre was so positive and impactful. It's wonderful to know that you felt warmly welcomed and part of something special from the moment you arrived. We are thrilled that you enjoyed the community events, tutoring and the teaching lessons with the children. It's gratifying to hear that our dedicated team contributed to your growth and openness and it's great to hear that it contributed to an uplifting and enriching experience for you. Your recognition for our focus on empowerment (education project) and positive change is truly appreciated and your kind words about your experience mean a lot to us. Thank you for highly recommending our organizations work and our childcare development centre and for your kind words about our team. We're grateful for the lasting impact you've mentioned and are delighted that you enjoyed being part of our community. We are thankful once again for your unwavering support and dedication towards our educational project in helping the unprivileged children in Ghana. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and we hope to welcome you back in the future, Schirli! With kind regards from Ghana! SMWEF Team
Very heartwarming NGO with a great impact
March 17, 2025by: Schlomit Goldberger - SwitzerlandProgram: Childcare Volunteer Project in GhanaThrough my sister, I had the opportunity to get to know the NGO and even spend a week on-site. It was incredibly moving to see how the small team, with limited resources but immense dedication, fought every day to give the children the best possible chance for a better future. The team works with great transparency and commitment, approaching new projects thoughtfully to ensure they are sustainable and make a lasting impact. As a volunteer, you will be warmly welcomed by Seth, Naomi, and the teachers. Seth genuinely cares about the well-being of the volunteers, and Naomi’s cooking was the best I had during my five weeks in Ghana (and Ghanaian food is already amazing! :-)). If you’re looking for an NGO where you can be sure that both money and effort go directly to those who need it most, I can highly recommend this one—both for donations and as a volunteer. They are currently in urgent need of sponsors for the teachers, as their salaries cannot always be paid regularly. Children can also be sponsored. The NGO is grateful for any support, helping them take step-by-step action toward giving these children a better future.
Dear Schlomit, Thank you so much for your heartfelt and positive review, Schlomit. We're overjoyed to hear that your one-week volunteer in Ghana through your sister's recommendation at the Excellence Centre were some of the best of your life. It's fantastic that the volunteer in Childcare Program met your needs perfectly, combining valuable childcare and teaching experience with Ghanaian culture and lessons. We're glad to know that the emphasis on community and making everyone feel welcome helped you overcome your initial concerns and led to lasting friendships. It's wonderful to hear that the work you did was both fulfilling and empowering, and that you felt a significant personal and professional growth. Also, thank you for highlighting on the organization's transparency and accountability which is worth a merit. Thank you Schlomit, for being such a special part of our community and we really appreciate your cooperation! Your encouragement for others to take the leap and join the Excellence Centre is deeply appreciated. We're so glad you found the program rewarding and truly appreciate your recommendation. Thank you again for your kind words, and we'll miss you too, Schlomit! Greetings from Ghana! SMWEF Team
