Volunteering with Children In Ghana
Witnessing the development of a child, and being a part of that process, is priceless. As a childcare volunteer with Eduteen Ghana, you’ll play a direct role in helping children, while also learning new skills.

You can also volunteer with an orphanage, disabled or special needs children, or in a children’s hospital. You’ll help their caregivers by being an extra pair of hands in centers where we work.
