Project Details:
Nation Builders Orphanage
(Long Term)
Brief description and main aims
It is a NGO founded after charity motivation. It hosts 17 orphans and half-orphans, from which some were picked up from the streets. The so-called half-orphans have one living parent, who cannot provide even for him/herself, so they rather give it to the care of the orphanage. That is how the children receive a home, regular nutrition and health care.
Main Activities
The day begins with the kids getting ready for their school and ends when they go to bed at night. The orphanage provides education, food, leisure activities and anything else that the children might need.
Volunteer Tasks
To support the "House Mother", teach in the school, take care of the children, go shopping for food at the town market. To help in the kitchen, help the children with their homework, help washing clothes, play with the children, organizing leisure activities (sport competitions).
Any extra knowledge that the volunteer can teach or any activity they want to develop is accepted (after approval of the staff).
Volunteer Requirements / Skills
Volunteers should be able to teach (at least basic subjects like Maths, English) because there are not enough teachers. They should also bring in new ideas for leisure activities and be there for the kids as someone they can turn to.

Begoro, Koforidua, Eastern Region
Hosting Situation (Board & Lodging)
