The project fee covers three meals a day, accommodation, airport pickup, drinking water, orientation, and 24-hour Wi-Fi access in the volunteer house so you can stay connected with family and friends. Our aim is to provide an affordable volunteer experience so you can help support communities in need in Africa. There are no hidden costs or extra charges.

❌ Not included

Your flight ticket is not included.

Our projects run year-round, with a minimum stay of two weeks and a maximum of one year. Applications should be submitted at least four weeks before travel to allow time for visa processing. Volunteers may stay with a host family or shared volunteer house.

Healthcare placements take place in government-approved hospitals and clinics in Ghana, offering hands-on learning and support in underserved communities. Volunteers may work in departments such as A&E, Pediatrics, Maternity, Pharmacy, Surgery, OPD, and Nursing, assisting or shadowing staff under supervision.

Tasks include basic patient care, ward rounds, patient histories, medication support, administration, and health education activities. Volunteers work Monday–Friday, 8:00 am–1:00 pm.

€20 Euros Per Day

You can stay in our volunteer house with up to 16 other volunteers from Europe, America, and Australia, or choose to stay with a local host family.

Yes, we provide three meals a day. A cook at the volunteer house prepares all meals for volunteers. Vegetarian diets and any allergies are taken into account when arranging your placement.

Volunteers get weekends off to explore Ghana, a country rich in culture, festivals, food, art, beaches, castles, national parks, waterfalls, and rainforests. Volunteers experience the country more deeply through local insight and cultural understanding. Weekend trips are often organized, and there are opportunities to travel across Ghana, including both Accra and rural areas.

The program combines travel with meaningful volunteer work, helping you develop skills such as teamwork, communication, and adaptability. It also offers a chance to experience a different culture and way of life. Popular nearby attractions include Cape Coast Castle, Kakum National Park, Nzulezo Stilt Village, beaches, and rainforest areas, all within a few hours of many volunteer locations.
