Volunteer in Ghana with the African Rural Development Movement
About Program
Volunteer in Ghana with the African Rural Development Movement (ARUDMO)! ARUDMO is a growing volunteer organization that places volunteers in rural communities throughout Ghana. Working in the Volta Region of Ghana, volunteers have the option to help with construction; assist teachers in local schools teaching English, French, math and science; and assist in starting an orphanage. ARUDMO is dedicated to putting volunteers in touch with sustainable projects for the community. Visit the website to learn more about the organization and projects offered!
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.
