The need for childcare for children of kindergarten and pre-school age is huge in rural communities of Ghana. While there are also free public schools for children from primary school onwards, there are hardly any comparable offers for younger children.
Although, there are many private daycares in Ghana, the majority of families from vulnerable backgrounds cannot afford to enroll their children to daycare centres due to extreme poverty.

The need for childcare for children of kindergarten and pre-school age is huge in rural communities of Ghana. While there are also free public schools for children from primary school onwards, there are hardly any comparable offers for younger children. Although, there are many private daycares in Ghana, the majority of families from vulnerable backgrounds cannot afford to enroll their children.
As a daycare or childcare volunteer, you will work with us in daycares that are run by non-profit organizations and offer childcare completely free of charge or for a very small fee. Families affected by poverty and illness know that their children are in safe care while the parents or guardians can pursue an education or work or look after relatives in need of care.
In Ghana communities, from the age of around 3, children are prepared for formal schooling, and so everyday life consists not only of playing but also of playfully teaching the little ones the basics of reading, writing and counting as well as familiarizing them with the English language.
We have been working and supporting several Daycare Centers in Ghana for many years, with whom we have built up an intensive and trusting partnership and who are very happy about the helping hands of our volunteers. It is very important to us to support our daycare centers in a sustainable and meaningful way.
Many facilities are supported by volunteers from around the world, many of which were set up by our former volunteers. So, if you are interested in continuing to support “your” daycare beyond your time as a volunteer and maintaining your new friendships with the team, then you are in the right place with us.
During your preparation, we will work with you to decide which of our daycare programs is right for you.
Volunteers wake up and breakfast time is 7:00-7:30am
Work starts at 8 am
There are other options which volunteer may decide to help the children with homework, and learn extra co-curricular activities like local games etc.

We work from Monday to Friday in a week.
Weekends are free and volunteers have the opportunity to visit tourist attraction centres like Kakum Canopy walkway, Cape coast & Elmina castle, Monkey Sanctuary, Museums etc among others within the country.
