Women’s Empowerment Volunteer Programs
Support women and girls’ rights as a volunteer in Ghana. In many communities, women are marginalized and are often raised without the ability to speak up. They’re discriminated against in various areas, with many women never receiving basic education. Without the opportunity for skills development, women and their families end up in a continuous cycle of poverty.
We believe that education is the key to change. When you join one of our women’s rights volunteer opportunities, you’ll promote gender equality in communities and empower young girls and women as a volunteer in Ghana.
