About Program
WAVO is a small organization that grew out of volunteers working together in a village in Ghana. We are serving several projects within Tafo village, including a football academy, cultural centre, Sekmonds girls' club, and the schools. As a volunteer you can choose which areas you would like to help with depending on your skills and interests.
In total, we feed and provide accommodation for 30 children and sponsor them in attending school. We make a real difference in educating the children of the village, ensuring they have a happy childhood and a bright future. After over a decade of support, 6 of the kids recently graduated college, which is a wonderful achievement for them.
Our organization has been working with the same individuals for over 16 years in Tafo. This allows us to offer a safe, supported way to see a fantastic country and meet some remarkable people.
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.
