Orphanage and School in Ashanti

Project Details

When the school and orphanage were founded over 10 years ago, the purpose was to bring together some of the most needy orphans in the community and provide them not only with a home but also with basic educational tools. Once the groundwork was laid the students began to advance to higher levels of education and acquired further skills to help them build a better future.

Volunteer Responsibilities

Volunteers are needed to assist in teaching various classes, helping to take care of younger orphans by dressing and bathing them, organizing games and activities, playing with pre-school children, and bringing creative suggestions and projects to improve the site.

Location

The project is located in the district of Offinso in the central region of Ashanti. Volunteers will receive a thorough orientation for a few days in the capital city of Accra upon arrival in Ghana.   

Accommodations and Meals

Volunteers will stay with carefully screened host families for the duration of the program. All meals with your host family are included in your stay.

Requirements

Experience or education in counseling, teaching and/or childcare is helpful, but not required.
