Disaster Volunteers of Ghana develops short and long term volunteer programs in rural communities that encourage people to immerse themselves in a unique way of giving back.
Family Volunteers help to empower the host communities in creating renewable,
sustainable programs. While DIVOG’s financial assistance benefits the
community economically, it is actually the involvement and collaboration
between the volunteers and community that is the greatest mutual benefit. DIVOG is an organization which focuses on creating self reliance among the rural communities.

Family members are invited to volunteer on our short tearm or long term family volunteer programs ranging from: working with local community members on building projects, teaching in local schools, working with local people on their farms, working with local hospitals and clinics, working on rural community development projects among others. The family will also have the opportunity to work with childrens groups whiles volunteering on a major project.

Families who want to bundle this volunteer opportunity with excurtions should please feel free to discuss this with the volunteer team for a tailored package.

DIVOG will give you important information about many things including safety, malaria, Ghana food, shopping, clothing, cultural restrictions, money on arrival during an orientation period. The family will be introduced to the profile of local communities where you will be working.
Families can stay as long as they want to stay on the project.
