Teaching Volunteering in Ghana

Agriculture is a major part of life in Ghana. More than half of Ghana?s population relies on farming for its livelihood. The methods of farming used are often primitive in nature. International Volunteer Travel offers a number of projects in agriculture. Volunteers will have a variety of duties including, pruning, tending seeds, caring for saplings, and controlling weeds.

Combination of Programs
In addition to Volunteer placement in Ghana, the International Volunteer Travel also offers opportunities for Internships Abroad in Ghana, a Language and Cultural Experience, and Ghana Adventure Tours and Holidays. We have placement for individuals, Gap year students and discounted offers for groups of volunteers wanting to be placed together in our Ghana projects.
