No places available for 2012 please check for 2013.

Designed for anybody who would like to undertake volunteer work in the Third World but is put off by the high cost of many schemes. Our working holidays were conceived to give volunteers a comprehensive view of life in the friendly West African country of Ghana.

Three weeks of work on our projects is broken up by well earned breaks at some of the best holiday spots in the country.

Our working holidays were originally conceived for groups of up to 10 young adults (18+) in their gap year or after their first year at University. In practice we have found that many of our applicants are at work and looking for a more interesting holiday than the normal package deal. So we have opened the scheme up to include them and also family groups with children older than 15 years of age.

A typical group might consist of 3 students, 2 or 3 younger adults taking some time out and 2 or 3 others.

Below you will find a brief video montage of volunteer's experiences

To see a video presentation of what our project offers please click here (you will need an mp4 player such as Quick Time-downloadable from here).

We are also able to offer 1 - 12 months attachments for teachers, nurses and doctors, these are based in the village schools and clinic or in the local hospital in the district capital of Assin Fosso. Please email: attachment at endwa dot org dot uk with your requested dates and speciality, for information.

For those who would like to undertake a more traditional , longer term volunteer programme, that doesn't cost a fortune, then please contact us as we may well be able to help arrange the type of programme that you would really enjoy. Please follow this link to read a report from a volunteer who undertook a longer placement with us. Report
