About Program

Creative Art is a very important subject taught in schools. Our main goal for this project is to help bring creativity and improvement of IQ in disadvantage children. This art includes, Music, dancing, drawing etc. Though there is a creative art curriculum to follow volunteers can choose to use it or not.

This program also takes places at the orphanage homes, and community centres as an after school program and as a therapy for special needs children. This develops their creativity, self confidence, self esteem as well as developing the children’s cognitive abilities.

Join Sfligvolunters and utilize your skills and interests to create exciting and meaningful activities for children

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 SFLIG Volunteers is promoting ethical volunteering.

Creative arts workshop - August 2016

Me and my partner gave creative art workshops for two weeks at the All Nations Charity Home via Sally and her Solutions for Life Initiative. The volunteering placement was well coordinated and also the home stay was very well arranged for.
Solutions for Life consists of a unique local NGO in Kumasi, Ghana, whom we want to keep supporting from abroad. We saw that the children of All Nations really enjoyed this summer activity and that they engaged very much in all sorts of creative activities (drawing, painting, making their own huge board games,

Creative Arts at an Orphanage

It's been really exciting to play with the kids at the orphanage and do drawing activities with them. It really gives them a chance to explore their creative mind and I love seeing the pride and joy on their faces after they complete a drawing. Sally has also been a wonderful host and is really accommodating to any of my needs. I've had such a great time in Ghana playing with the kids and it's been very joyful.

What would you improve about this program?
It's quite limiting in terms of time since the kids get back from school late and it's best not to stay out at the orphanage when it gets dark.
