We singed our first two school partnerships just recently in Botodwina and we really need someone to help us manage and grow our social media presence as we share this journey with the world.
  
  As our social media & content volunteer you will:
  
  Edit photos and video footage from our school visit into content for Instagram,TikTok,Facebook and YouTube.
  
  Write captions that reflect the real stories behind our work.
  
  Support growth strategy to help more people discover our work.
  
  And occasionally join our team on visit to partner schools to help capture content directly.
  
  Start date: 10th September 2026
  
  We are also looking for :
  
  Grant research and grants writing.
  we would be happy if we get someone to help with grant writing and research because that’s where we can help the children have access to quality education in underserved communities.
  
  
  Organisation values honesty and transparency. The organization is a registered NGO and we are more concerned of creating a safe , respect and impactful environment for both volunteers and the community.

  What else ...

  Volunteers should come with an open mind, flexibility, and willingness to learn – Ghanaian life can be very different from Europe or America.
  
  Weekends and evenings are free, so you can relax, explore Takoradi, or connect with locals.
  
  Internet access is available in the city, but may not always be as fast as you’re used to.
  
  Ghana has a warm tropical climate – bring light clothes, but also something modest for school and community activities.
  
  Please respect local culture and traditions; greetings, hospitality, and respect for elders are very important here.
  
  We welcome travellers from all backgrounds – whether you are a teacher, artist, farmer, or just eager to help, there is always a way to contribute.
  
  If you happen to be here in December, you can join in the famous Takoradi “Ankos” Masquerade Festival 🎭 one of Ghana’s most colorful and exciting celebrations with music, dance, and costumes filling the streets.
  
  Above all, bring your energy, positivity, and curiosity – and you will have an unforgettable experience in Takoradi! 🌍✨
