Description
Hi, I'm Pat, one of the founders of the women organization in our beautiful town. I live with my partner and two kids right here on the property where our guesthouse is. We're proud to run an organization that focuses on helping women by teaching them useful skills, like job training and business classes, and working to help the community.
Our main goal is to help women grow by providing them with learning opportunities and skills. We are dedicated to giving women the tools they need for empowered and independent lives.
What We Provide:
Learning Useful Skills: We teach a variety of practical skills, from hands-on tasks to advanced business lessons. This helps people get better jobs and become more financially independent.
Business Classes: Apart from job skills, we offer extra classes that focus on starting and running your own business. This helps women develop the skills to create and manage their own businesses.
Living Arrangements:
Accommodation:
We have a guesthouse where you can stay. It's a cozy place that helps us support our work. When you stay with us, you get a taste of local life and play a part in what the NGO is doing.
Living Together:
My family—my partner, our two kids, and I, Pat—live here too. It's a friendly and welcoming place where you can make real connections. Also, many of our students work here at the guesthouse, which is not common in Ghana. They can both work and learn, and it's something special about what we do.
Volunteer Opportunities:
We are currently seeking dedicated volunteers with diverse skills to contribute to our initiatives:
Fundraising Assistance: We welcome individuals with experience in fundraising or a passion for making a difference to support our ongoing programs and the establishment of new training centers.
Training in the Guesthouse: We invite volunteers with teaching, vocational training, or hospitality experience to assist in our training programs hosted in the guesthouse.
Social Media and Content Creation: If you possess expertise in content creation, digital marketing, or social media management, your skills can help us raise awareness about our mission.
Future Agricultural Project: We are planning to start a mushroom farm and would appreciate the contribution of volunteers with agricultural expertise.
Requirements:
*Passion for women's empowerment and education
*Relevant skills and experience for the chosen volunteer opportunity
*Open-mindedness and cultural sensitivity
Why Volunteer with Us?
By becoming a volunteer here you have the opportunity to contribute your skills to meaningful projects while experiencing life in a small town in the Ashanti region in Ghana. Your efforts will directly support the empowerment of women and the sustainable growth of our organization.

She was really flexible and during the 3 weeks she taught the kids a lot!
They are still singing her songs and play like how she showed them.
Thanks very much Tilly!
She is outgoing, can adjust to new situations fast and is willing to help in any way she can.
Thank you soooo much Hannah!!
