Ghana School Construction Project

Ghana is a hub of international development for Western Africa. Hundreds of International Non-Governmental Organizations (INGO) have established their main offices in the capital Accra. While we have some placements with these larger organizations, our summer programs will focus on projects in cooperation with smaller grass-roots organizations and communities.

Depending on your arrival, you will be working on one of a few school construction projects. Your daily schedule will include mixing cement, pushing a wheelbarrow, building brick walls, basic carpentry and other general labor. The site is supervised both by our Project Coordinators and by several local experts who will ensure that our buildings are both structurally sound and culturally appropriate.

Session Dates

PLACEMENT HIGHLIGHT

Nicaragua - Conservation


	Adeca Because Adeca is a non-profit organization and runs purely off private donations, volunteers are always needed to help with their projects. Adeca needs volunteers to help families throughout the Carazo region. Many families throughout this region depend upon the harvest of their crops for not only economic means but also survival. Volunteers are needed to work with the members of Adeca to help assist with crop development, harvesting crops, reforestation projects and ensuring that plant deliveries are completed on time. In addition, Adeca is working on many sustainable construction projects in the Carazo department. Volunteers are required to help with the construction of viviendas (small homes), water sanitation systems and improved stoves. As such, volunteers will be required to engage in physical labour.
