Orphanage

Placement

Our programs seek to address the numerous problems that many children without proper education, health care, food, love and attention face as a result of their parents not being there for them.

Orphans everywhere need care and volunteers will be placed in rural environments where they will teach, love and care for these less fortunate children.

Volunteers will have the opportunity to teach, design and organise activities and events to inspire and develop the children's talents and abilities through human interaction and care.

This program will also give volunteers an opportunity to explore and understand the Ghanaian people and their culture.


Basic information

We are currently working with four orphanages which are spread throughout several regions of Ghana. We currently work with two in the Western region, one in the Volta region, and one in the Eastern region.

The orphans ages vary from 6 months to 18 years, but the average age that you will work with is 6 to 9 years. The education of the children varies depending on where you are, but slowly their English is improving with the help of foreign volunteers.

The food and water situations also vary between orphanages, but some being as hard hit, as not being able to afford bread. While others have no running water, or even drinking river water. This situation is gradually being resolved with the ongoing support of foreign volunteers.

The children benefit greatly from volunteers care and attention, and combined with the money which is provided when you volunteer the children are slowly moving into a better life.
