 Description

Ghana is located in West Africa bordering the Atlantic Ocean, Togo and the Ivory Coast.

Formerly known as the Gold Coast, Ghana won its freedom from Britain over 50 years ago, becoming the first 
black African colony to achieve its independence. Ghana is a proud and safe country steeped in rich cultural 
history and tradition. The country still boasts 42 European forts and castles including Elmina and Cape Coast 
Castles which are all recognized by UNESCO as World Heritage Monuments.

Vibrant traditional festivals full of pomp and pageantry can still be seen and heard throughout the country. 
Traditional open markets provide the sounds and sights of the African bazaar. Ghana has a diverse natural 
heritage which is rich in dense tropical rainforests, unique eco-systems, crocodile ponds, coastal wetlands, 
botanical gardens and the world largest manmade lake, Lake Volta.

We have programs available in the HoHoe and Ho Districts of the Volta Region and in Agona Nkwanta of the 
Ahanta west District. In these districts, 95% of its population lives in rural areas, and subsistence agriculture is 
the major activity. The poverty experienced in these rural areas is not just a lack of money but also the 
inability to access basic needs, such as health care and health facilities as well as voluntary HIV counseling and 
testing.Despite having a lack of such basic needs, the Ghanaian people are world-renowned for their 
friendliness. Most volunteers are humbled by the everyday happy attitudes of the local people.



Our programs allow you to take part in meaningful community service work, while discovering the people, 
sights, smells and tastes of Ghana. Volunteering in Ghana is a way to totally immerse yourself in West African 
culture and gain a broader view of the world.

This is a great opportunity to make life-long friends, learn a new culture from the inside out and discover 
that one person really can make a difference. Volunteer with us and see A Broader View of the World.

Volunteer projects are available in rural villages and urban towns throughout the Western and Volta Regions.
