    Construction project

    About the program

    This program focuses on the construction and renovation of orphanages, clinics, schools, toilet facilities, libraries, community centers etc... This is an ideal project for short term volunteers, no skills are required and you are able to make a significant contribution even if you are only staying a week. Volunteers also have the opportunity to meet community elders and learn about the various cultures of the different communities through drumming, music and dance. Volunteers work closely with local people and SMWEF Ghana staff on tasks which includes painting, brick laying, block shaping, carpentry, steel bending, plastering, mortar mixing etc... Volunteers on this program should bring gloves, flashlight and lightweight scarf for sun protection or hat, insect repellent, working boots and water bottle. Please note this project has an additional fee of US$ 40 per week for construction and renovation materials that are used during the project. Program is suitable for 16 and above.

    Typical day

    The tropical Ghanaian climate is hot and humid with the temperatures reaching over 30 degrees at midday, because of this you will start work at 8 o'clock am and around 2 o'clock pm with a 20 min break around mid-morning. Depending on the building progress you might dig and set foundations, use a press to build bricks out of mud and water, mix cement using shovels, build walls brick by brick or assist with the construction of the roof. After the construction is done, you can plaster the and pain the walls, design murals or help with land scaping in the garden. In the afternoon, you can choose to relax or help out with community initiatives such as the reading club for children or sports activities.

    Weekends

    In your free time, you can visit Cape Coast and learn more about about the countrys history of slave trade by visiting the castles and museums in the area. With warm weather year round, Ghana is also perfect if you had like to spend the day relaxing on the beach or exploring one of the many national parks.
