About Program

A truly rewarding and life changing experience working in local orphanages and underprivileged children's centers. You will provide much needed assistance in caring for those who are in need of support and care. You will be helping in daily duties, improving literacy as well as playing games and offering support and quality time with individuals.

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.

Amazing AkwaabaVolunteers in Ghana

Jan 13, 2017

Seeing the keenness of the kids to get involved was just fantastic. It's great to see genuine happiness in people with so little who appreciate so much. Most of the locations are close by which you can either walk to or get the local bus.

The accommodation is great and really close to the beach. There are two beach bars within easy walking distance. There is plenty else to do and the steers food is great too. Jollof I could eat every day!

The country is great too. Yes it's poor and often dirty but it's also beautiful and the human spirit of the people just trumps it all. We visited many place but of all of them Jamestown will not be forgotten!

What would you improve about this program?
More people! The more that visit the more support to the projects can be given.
