5-8 Weeks Human Rights Volunteering in Cape Coast, Ghana

Make a difference in the lives of differently-abled children in Ghana! Apply to this volunteering project for deaf and blind children at a school in Cape Coast, Ghana. The project aims at providing a positive and safe learning environment for these children. The school is government-funded and serves as a sanctuary for those who would otherwise be deprived of the support and quality education they deserve. It fosters an inclusive environment where all students can develop and harness their abilities and talents and prepare them for future success. As a volunteer, you will support teachers in designing, adapting, and delivering high-quality lessons. You will help in developing individualized education programs (IEPs). You will also teach the students about human rights, importance of active citizenship, and empower them to have academic and career goals. No specific skills are required for this project but this suits those who are pursuing a career or with experience working in SEN education or childhood development. Participants must have a positive and dynamic attitude. Also, patience, flexibility, and empathy are essential when working with children with disabilities.

Volunteer in Ghana and discover the 'Africa for beginners' with its beautiful beaches, colonial cities and natural treasures.

Many orphanages in Ghana are understaffed and need the help of professionals and long-term volunteers to care for the children.
