Our Commitment

We aim to keep our fees transparent and fair while ensuring volunteers are safe, supported, and able to focus fully on making meaningful impact

Airport pickup is included in the volunteer program fee to ensure a safe and smooth arrival experience.

Volunteers will be picked up upon arrival at Kotoka International Airport in Accra by an authorized SFLIG Volunteers representative.

Prior to arrival, volunteers are asked to share their flight details and a recent photo to help with easy identification. Our local representative will also share their contact details and photo in advance to ensure a secure and clear meeting point.

Free airport Wi-Fi is available upon arrival. Volunteers are encouraged to connect to Wi-Fi and communicate with the assigned representative if needed.

Our team monitors arrival times to ensure timely pickup. From the airport, volunteers are transported directly to their accommodation.

We prioritize safety, clear communication, and comfort from the moment you arrive in Ghana

Arrival & Orientation

Upon arrival, volunteers receive an orientation that includes:

* Introduction to the local area and community

* Cultural guidance and expectations

* Health and safety information

* Transportation and daily logistics

* Program expectations and schedule overview

This helps volunteers settle in quickly and feel confident in their new environment.

Accommodation is included in the volunteer program fee and is arranged to provide a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for all volunteers

Both options offer a safe and supportive environment and allow volunteers to experience Ghanaian culture and community life.

Safety & Quality

Host families and accommodations are carefully selected and regularly reviewed to ensure they meet our standards for safety, hygiene, and comfort. Our team maintains regular contact to ensure volunteers feel supported throughout their stay.

Location

The SFLIG Volunteers House and project locations are situated in Krispo city, near Accra. The area provides convenient access to local markets, transportation, and community facilities, while allowing volunteers to experience everyday life in Ghana

Our Commitment

We aim to create an experience where volunteers feel secure, welcomed, and fully supported, allowing them to focus on making meaningful impact and enjoying their time in Ghana

Three meals per day are provided as part of the volunteer program to ensure volunteers feel comfortable, well supported, and able to focus on their work.

 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.

Drinking Water

Safe drinking water is provided throughout the program.
