WV Ghana is committed to making sure all participating communities and volunteers benefit from the collaboration.

Safety: Your well being while volunteering with us is our priority. We make sure your trip is safe and our in-country coordinator will provide whatever support you may need at any step along the way.

Administrative Charges: Our staff works every day to take care of our volunteers: Emails are answered; phone calls are taken; coordination occurs between projects; and most importantly volunteers are placed within areas of their interest in villages.

We try hard to keep these administration costs to a minimum so that your money can be used most effectively.
