About Program
The project takes place in the capitol of the Volta Region, in the beautiful city of Ho. Ho and nearby communities are facing a variety of challenges. Unclean water and an untrained workforce, unable to utilize modern tools, are the leading cause of hindering progress. There is also a lack of teachers and facilities keeping children from free education, many unpaved roads, and heavy reliance on international financial and technical assistance.
Volunteers will work with a locally organized group in numerous surrounding villages. Projects include building school blocks for kindergartners or improvement of washrooms and facilities that the children use. Volunteers will also construct irrigation systems, and build libraries or internet training centers. Another project entails volunteers working to improve the facilities at a local orphanage.
