Sul programma

Your work with children in Ghana will be divided into four main categories:

Help teachers pay attention to children equally

Classes are often full beyond capacity, so teachers and caregivers don’t always manage to attend to each child throughout the day. You will play a huge role in being an extra pair of hands and eyes to help pay attention to children who need it most on any given day.

Give teachers and students a break from regular class routine by offering to lead a fun creative lesson. This could include arts and crafts, reading, or even introducing them to a new game. After classes end and before their parents collect them, you can help children with their homework or arrange sports activities outside.

Work with other volunteers

One of the best things about joining one of our volunteer programs is the fact that you get to meet other volunteers from all over the world. Make the most of this opportunity by sharing ideas for activities, lessons, and games you can play with the children. You can also share these ideas with placement staff who can add them to their existing class routine to add a bit of variety.

Present hygiene awareness workshops

Some of the children you will work with may never have learned about the importance of basic hygiene. You can help improve this by teaching them how to brush their teeth properly and to wash their hands regularly throughout the day. Make this fun with songs, games, and little class challenges.

Assess children and identify specific placement needs

One of the ways in which we keep track of the children’s development and the specific needs of placements, is through specially designed checklists. We will train you on how to use these checklists. You will assess the status of each child on a daily basis in areas related to:

  • Numeracy
  • Literacy
  • Fine motor skills
  • Emotional abilities
  • Social skills
  • Hygiene

Depending on your interests and/or skills, you will work at one of the following placements:

  • Children Shelter
  • Kindergarten
  • Daycare center
  • Special needs schools

The aim of this project is to improve early childhood development in Ghanaian communities by helping give young children a well-rounded educational experience. 

With elementary school classrooms, kindergartens, and daycare centers often being overcrowded, local teachers and caregivers struggle to divide their attention equally. Because of this, certain children may have trouble learning certain skills, depending on their interests, strengths, and weaknesses. 

As laid out in our Childcare Management Plan for Ghana, we’ve identified five sustainable goals we hope to achieve with our volunteer childcare project in Ghana:

  • Promote early childhood development
  • Increase literacy
  • Improve hygiene levels
  • Increase numeracy
  • Improve the quality of life for those living with disabilities 

Help us achieve these long-term goals by joining us as a Childcare volunteer in Ghana.

Giornata tipica

A typical day will run from about 8am to 3pm, coinciding with kindergarten and daycare center hours. You will be working closely with teachers and caregivers to keep energetic young children fully engaged and entertained. 

Every day at work will be different. On certain days you might help run an arts and crafts program, while others may include outdoor sports activities or basic English lessons. 

During the hours you aren’t working, you’ll have ample free time to explore with your fellow volunteers. 

Since you will be living with a volunteer house with other volunteers from all over the world or with a local host family, breakfast launch and dinners offer great opportunities to get to know them better and fully immerse yourself in their way of life.
