    Sobre el programa

    Maternal health is a very big challenge in Ghana especially in the rural and peri-urban centres of the country. This is due to the difficulty in accessing health facilities; which put women at a high risk of death with various disabilities resulting from pregnancy and childbirth complication. Our maternal health program seeks to complement the work of maternal health nurses and Doctors.  This program seeks to support women during pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum period to help manage any health complications during and after pregnancy.

    As a maternal and child health volunteer, you will assist in the antenatal/prenatal care to monitor the health condition of pregnant women through regular checks on their urine, protein, BP and monitoring babies formation and growth in the womb.

    Also volunteers assist and shadow other health personals like midwives to ensure safe delivery and also to manage any complication during delivery.

    Again, volunteers assist to provide postnatal/postpartum care to ensure the well-being of baby and mother by giving advice on nutrient and supplement to support both mother and child development.

    Last but not all, volunteers assist in the education of various family planning methods to help in spacing childbirth.

    Most of these facilities we support caters for people from people homes so any used baby cloths and items or delivery tools that volunteers can come with will be very much appreciated.

    As a maternal and child health volunteer you are likely to go on outreach to the communities to give public education on pregnancy and you can also sometimes switch to other departments of the health facility that you may want to experience or learn from.

    Also volunteers must be ready for the culture shock at the facility since most tools are improvise to perform the needed task.

     Breakfast

    Basic breakfast groceries are provided daily, allowing volunteers to prepare their own breakfast according to their preferences. Typical items include oats, eggs, bread, butter, peanut butter, tea, coffee, milk, and similar essentials. This flexible approach allows volunteers to eat at their own pace and according to personal dietary needs.



    Lunch

    Lunch is usually light and refreshing, often consisting of fresh seasonal fruits such as bananas, oranges, watermelon, pineapple, and apples. This keeps meals healthy and suitable for the warm climate.



     Dinner

    Dinner is a balanced mix of local Ghanaian and international-style meals. Common dishes may include rice, noodles, yam, potatoes, spaghetti, and other nutritious options. This gives volunteers the opportunity to experience local cuisine while still enjoying familiar foods.



     Weekends & Cultural Exchange

    On weekends, basic food ingredients are provided so volunteers can prepare their own meals. Many volunteers enjoy cooking together, sharing recipes, and introducing foods from their home countries. This creates a fun cultural exchange experience and allows volunteers to enjoy meals they may be craving.

    Safe drinking water is provided throughout the program.

    Detalles a la llegada

    Volunteers are free to arrive at any day of their choice but we advice volunteers arrive on Fridays or Saturdays, for them to have some rest and settle in before volunteer duties start on Monday (Volunteers are also allowed to determine when they want to start upon arrival). Volunteers can arrive at any time of the day but arriving in the evenings means volunteer will have to spend long time at the airport due to long queue because most  flights arrive in the evening. Therefore volunteers can look for flights that arrives mid morning or early afternoon.

    Our representative will pick up volunteer to the his /her host family's accommodation. 

    This program is all year round and volunteer can extend length of stay upon arrival.
