CONSTRUCTION & RENOVATION
Based in rural and some of the urban Ghana, the Construction and Renovation project offers volunteers the special opportunity to work alongside with local people to help improve the infrastructure in our communities. This project focuses on the construction and renovation of orphanages, clinics, community centers, libraries, toilet facilities and schools etc.
Volunteers also have the opportunity to meet chiefs and community elders, and learn about the various cultures of the different communities through music and dance. Volunteers work closely with the local people and our local staff on tasks which include painting, brick laying, plastering, digging, block shaping, carpentry, steel bending, mortar mixing, etc. If you’re a keen outdoors person with a good level of fitness, this will be a perfect project for you.
Volunteers should bring gloves, flash light, light weight scarf for sun protection or hat, insect repellent, working boots and water bottle. Please note, this project has an additional fee of US$ 50 per week for construction and renovation materials that are used during the project.
