Start With us?

Discover Ghana

Ghana offers a vibrant blend of culture, history, and coastal beauty. Explore iconic sites such as the Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Park, lively Makola Market, and the popular beaches of Labadi and Kokrobite, known for golden sands and energetic nightlife.

Arrival & Airport Pickup

Once your placement is confirmed, book your flight to Kotoka International Airport (Accra). Our local team will meet you upon arrival and transfer you to your volunteer house or host family accommodation.

Your orientation takes place the following day and includes an introduction to the project, expectations, safety guidelines, and a tour of the local community. This helps you settle in and prepare for your volunteer work.
