About Program
The Ghana Xchange Volunteer Organization runs this program to ease the pressure on parents, especially, mothers, who are duty-bound to simultaneously manage such children and work. Undeniably, the global economy is faced with great challenges, which in effect, has subjected
both public and private companies and other business ventures to inevitable competition. Consequently, there is a heavy workload on workers, thus, tight schedules, which, if a parent cannot adhere to, will mean losing the job. A wide range of workers or staff who patronize these
programs include doctors, nurses, accountants, administrators, managers, lawyers, judges, laboratory technicians, teachers, bankers, traders, seamstresses, hairstylists, etc. As an organization that cares about the well-being of society, GXVO chose to step in by running a childcare home program, to shoulder part of the burdens of the parents to keep them at work.
Consider your impact: Volunteering abroad can be a rewarding experience for both volunteers and local communities, and at Go Overseas, we believe all volunteers should have the resources to make informed decisions about the type of volunteer project they want to partake in. However, despite best intentions, some organizations offering placements in orphanages may unknowingly place children in danger. You can read about the potential dangers of orphanage volunteering here. Learn more about how Ghana Xchange Volunteer Organization is promoting ethical volunteering.
