* Pre-departure guidance and preparation support

* Airport pickup on arrival

* Orientation and safety briefing

* Accommodation (as specified in the accommodation section)

* Meals and food support (as specified in the food section)

Both options offer a safe and supportive environment and allow volunteers to experience Ghanaian culture and community life.

Safety & Quality

Host families and accommodations are carefully selected and regularly reviewed to ensure they meet our standards for safety, hygiene, and comfort. Our team maintains regular contact to ensure volunteers feel supported throughout their stay.

In the unlikely event of an emergency, our local team is available to provide immediate support and guidance. We ensure volunteers always know who to contact and how to access assistance.

Each volunteer will have their own bed and access to essential furnishings such as a table and chair.

Location

The SFLIG Volunteers House and project locations are situated in Krispo city, near Accra. The area provides convenient access to local markets, transportation, and community facilities, while allowing volunteers to experience everyday life in Ghana

Our Commitment

We aim to create an experience where volunteers feel secure, welcomed, and fully supported, allowing them to focus on making meaningful impact and enjoying their time in Ghana

Three meals per day are provided as part of the volunteer program to ensure volunteers feel comfortable, well supported, and able to focus on their work.

 Breakfast

Basic breakfast groceries are provided daily, allowing volunteers to prepare their own breakfast according to their preferences. Typical items include oats, eggs, bread, butter, peanut butter, tea, coffee, milk, and similar essentials. This flexible approach allows volunteers to eat at their own pace and according to personal dietary needs.

Lunch

Lunch is usually light and refreshing, often consisting of fresh seasonal fruits such as bananas, oranges, watermelon, pineapple, and apples. This keeps meals healthy and suitable for the warm climate.

 Dinner

Dinner is a balanced mix of local Ghanaian and international-style meals. Common dishes may include rice, noodles, yam, potatoes, spaghetti, and other nutritious options. This gives volunteers the opportunity to experience local cuisine while still enjoying familiar foods.

 Weekends & Cultural Exchange

On weekends, basic food ingredients are provided so volunteers can prepare their own meals. Many volunteers enjoy cooking together, sharing recipes, and introducing foods from their home countries. This creates a fun cultural exchange experience and allows volunteers to enjoy meals they may be craving.
