sectors we work with
orphanage
Volunteers support the children in their daily needs at the orphanage, helping them in their studies and guiding them.
Volunteers will act as staff support to help the local staff with daily tasks.
The volunteer will also inspire the children by creating exciting activities for the children to do in their spare time, keeping them motivated and helping to create a safe and nurturing environment for the children to flourish.
The local staff and the volunteers are working together in a team, so you need to be a team player and open minded to the Ghanaian culture. As a good volunteer, you should be friendly, creative, spontaneous and for sure interested in the Ghanaian culture.
Please note: due to the nature of projects involving children, the minimum duration of stay for orphanage projects is 4 weeks.
In the orphanage with which we cooperate, volunteers will act as staff support to help the local staff with daily tasks. Volunteers support the children in their daily needs at the orphanage such as bathing, feeding, dressing and playing with the babies and toddlers. To ensure success in the studies of the children going to school, volunteers will also take time to help individual children with their homework. The timetable of the rest of the day always includes the arrangement of exciting activities such as sports, dances, arts and cultural activities.
Beside these activities, volunteers will also have the opportunity to assist the teachers in the school nearby the orphanage in the subjects English, Mathematics and Science. Educational activities can be introduced by the volunteers as well for a nurturing learning environment.
Please note: due to the nature of projects involving children, the minimum duration of stay for orphanage projects is 4 weeks.
street kids soccer
Football in Ghana is said to be one of the sport activities every child wants to join. Therefore, we guide the Children School Academy through football. Most of the kids in the School Academy have a passion for football. For this reason, the football project serves as an activity beside the school which encourages the children and the youth to perform well in class and join our soccer team afterwards.
Volunteers will support the coaches and the children and youth in their daily training at the field, help them in their assignments and support the guidance of them. This includes the preparation of educational materials for the football training and getting the players settled and ready to train. Volunteers will then assist to execute their field plan by helping the coaches train the children and youth and working one on one with them to ensure they finish their tasks given on the field. Volunteers also have the opportunity to inspire the children and youth by creating exciting activities for them to do in their training section, keep them motivated and help to create a safe and nurturing environment for the children and youth to flourish.
hospital
Volunteering and working in the hospital is an important way to learn and help. It allows you to have a deeper understanding of the Ghanaian healthcare system and appreciate working with limited resources.
Your experience with the hospital will be educative, challenging, convenient and affordable. Learning opportunities are diverse therefore we provide the learning goals with guidance.
We ensure that our volunteers have enough experience throughout their time with the organisation.
Volunteers will have the chance to choose which medical areas or departments they are more comfortable with and prefer to work in.
The organisation works with the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital (which is the largest in the Central Region of Ghana), The Metropolitan Hospital, University of Cape Coast hospital, Ewim Polyclinic and some private hospitals in Cape Coast (Baiden Ghartey Mem. Hospital, Doctors in Service (DIS), and Sanford World Clinics).
In the course of the program, volunteers will be working with Community Health Facilities to also experience the lowest forms of healthcare in Cape Coast.
public health
Volunteers are provided with the opportunities to support Volunteer with Ghana with education in schools, orphanages, communities, churches, etc. within the Cape Coast Metropolis on health related topics.
These programs and topics will be selected together with the volunteer, research and health professionals and social workers to ascertain which topics will be relevant to these target groups in the Metropolis.
Topics will range from personal hygiene, cholera, malaria, STI’s, environmental sanitation, child rights protection and promotion, adolescent reproductive health, and more.
The organisation will also partner with institutions with similar vision to achieve these objectives.
social welfare
Working with the Deparments of Social Welfare and Community Development will enhance our volunteer’s ability to understand social issues related in the Ghanaian society.
The Department works in cooperation with people from their communities to improve their well-being by promoting development on issues such as disadvantage, vulnerability, and exclusion with the aim of developing a life of equality for all. The Department has three main divisions: Community Care, Child Rights Protection and Promotion and Justice Administration.
Within these core areas, volunteers will be presented with opportunities to learn more about and support the staff of the Department by working on family cases such as maintenance of children, custody of children, paternity, family reconciliation and adoption and by working in the areas of registering and monitoring the activities of NGO’S/CBO’s, Day Care Centres, Orphanages, etc. Besides that, volunteers can help in the support of persons with disabilities as well as community education programmes and programmes about poverty alleviation.
schools
The organisation will provide a wide range of schools for volunteers to work within.
Volunteers will co-teach with Ghanaian professional teachers, learn about the Ghanaian education system and the syllabus and support the teachers in the education and the teaching of the children within their own strength and knowledge.
Areas within which volunteers can teach are; ICT, French, English, Integrated science, Vocational Skills, etc.
Volunteers can also help the organisation to setup clubs in various schools to educate students on the roles of Non-Governmental and Community based organisations.
Please note: due to the nature of projects involving children, the minimum duration of stay for school projects is 4 weeks.
