Get involved in a volunteer experience in the medical field, in education or many other projects and provide help to these NGOs who are working every day towards a better life for Ghaneans.

Everybody can join this programme ! We all have something to give, even without professionnal skills or qualifications. All it takes is the urge to invest some of your time and discover a new culture.

The programme is international, and welcomes volunteers from all over the world.
Most projects take place in Kpando, in the central region of Kpando in the Volta region of Ghana.
Approximately 70.000 people live in the region, most of which speak Ewe - a language of West Africa, which is spoken by more than 6 million people.
Kpando is a region of savannah and forests, crossed by the Volta River.
The majority of the population work in agriculture, mining and fishing. The area is also known for its crafts in clay and wood.
Electricity and running water are available in Kpando.
Accommodation depends on the placement that you choose. For most tasks, you will be staying with a Ghanaian host family. Generally families host several volunteers at the same time and at least one member of the family speaks English. Contact with the family is usually quite limited and you will have your meals with the other volunteers. For placements in orphanages or hospitals, you may be accommodated directly at your placement.
You will have 3 meals a day for the duration of the programme. The living conditions are adequate but do not expect luxury.
Initial membership fee (200 €) enrolment as a member of the GlobAlong Association is valid for a period of 9 years (renewable).
