Are you looking for a unique experience for your gap year or time out?
Do you want to make a real difference to others less fortunate than yourself?

Kwahu Tafo is a small community located in Ghana, West Africa and home to the Ultimate Volunteer Network. We have several projects within Tafo; a football academy; a cultural centre; a residential hostel and our newly opened school. As a volunteer you can choose which areas you would like to help depending on your skills and interests.

In total, we feed and provide accommodation for 50 children and sponsor almost 100 to attend school. We are making a real difference in educating the children of our community, ensuring they have a happy childhood and bright future.

As you may know, there are many ‘volunteer projects’ around the world so listed here are the reasons we are the best

- Our project is very small with no help from the government or outside agencies, you will be making a real difference.

- The project we have is very welcoming and grateful to have your help. You will find Ghana an extremely accommodating and friendly country.

- The costs for yourself are very reasonable compared to similar projects, you will be expected to cover your own costs and make a small donation

- The project offers great variation, especially if you love sport and/ or culture and performing arts.

- We are also very flexible regarding dates and lengths of stay and at the moment we are actively seeking volunteers for the autumn/ winter periods
