Despite recent economic prosperity, Ghana is still a poor country and is struggling to take care of its orphaned and handicapped children. As a result, many children live on the streets and are either exploited or involved in petty crimes. There are however many orphanages running through private efforts that are taking good care of the children. Though they’re mostly funded from abroad, the orphanages are always struggling for funds and understaffed.
Join RCDP’s orphanage work project in Ghana and work to better the lives of orphaned children. You’ll provide them with love, care for them, impart skills and turn them into confident individuals. In return, you’ll return with your life enriched and experience which you won’t forget. This really is an ideal volunteer project if you want to serve humanity.
You do not require any skills to volunteer in orphanage work project. You’ll however need passion and enthusiasm to love and care for the children.
Responsibilities for volunteers in work in orphanage project vary from orphanages to orphanages. In general, volunteers will have to teach English and other subjects, improve the hygiene of the children by making sure they eat, sleep and wash properly, you’ll also play games with them. The staff of the orphanage will help you along and give you valuable insight into your work. You can also help with kitchen work, administrative work, and many of our past volunteers have been involved in fundraising efforts to improve the financial situation of the orphanage.
RCDP will manage your entire accommodation, meal and supervision during your stay in orphanage project. You will stay with a warm and welcoming host family. We have chosen our host family carefully and they will provide a safe and secure location for you to stay. They will have experience of hosting foreign volunteers before. You will have a room for yourself and at least one member of the host family will be able to communicate with you in English. You will also be served hygienically prepared Ghanaian meals like Fufu, Banku and Yam, three times a day. Sometimes, volunteers will also stay in a project hostel also. In some orphanages, you will stay inside compound of the orphanage and eat what is cooked for the children. You will be provided a separate room but you’ll share bathroom facilities. RCDP In-Country coordinator and staffs will keep in touch with you by either visiting you every week or will contact with via phone.
