Spending a month at Eben’s volunteer house was an unforgettable experience. Thanks to him, I was able to immerse myself in the local culture, meet amazing people, and visit incredible places I wouldn’t have discovered on my own. He took us to explore breathtaking spots on weekends, making the experience even more special. He also helped me secure a volunteer opportunity at Lekma Hospital in Accra, which was deeply enriching on a human level. I highly recommend his volunteer house to anyone looking for a truly authentic experience in Ghana!

I had an incredible time volunteering with Ghana Volunteer International, and I can honestly say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, Ebenezer, our amazing guide/host, made sure we felt right at home in Ghana. He showed us around and introduced us to the rich culture and beauty of the country, and his kindness was truly heartwarming. One of the highlights of my trip was the opportunity to work with the children through the teaching program. It was such a rewarding experience to see their smiles every day and to build such a strong bond with them. The children’s joy and eagerness to learn were infectious, and it was a privilege to be a part of their educational journey. The locals in Ghana are incredibly friendly, and their hospitality made me feel like I was part of the community. The warmth and generosity of everyone I met left a lasting impact on me. I absolutely fell in love with Ghana—the people, the culture, and the spirit of togetherness. I’m already planning my next trip and can’t wait to return. Thank you, Ghana Volunteer International, for this life-changing opportunity. I'll be back for sure!

The organisation was very good. I really recommend it. Our organisator was always available for us when we had any questions or problems. We were never left alone. He showed us a lot of places and introduced us to the ghanaian culture. Thank you! Die Organisation war sehr gut. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen. Unser Organisator war immer erreichbar für uns und hat uns jederzeit bei Fragen und Problemen geholfen. Dadurch haben wir uns nie allein gelassen gefühlt. Er hat uns viel von Ghana gezeigt und uns in die ghanaische Kultur eingeführt. Vielen Dank!

Ghana Volunteer - An Amazing Experience! I had the pleasure of working with Ghana Volunteer, and it truly exceeded my expectations in every way. The owner, a kind, genuine, and professional man, went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. He handled any issues or challenges with ease, providing a stress-free experience for everyone involved. The trips organized by Ghana Volunteer were seamless, well-planned, and an absolute joy. From start to finish, every detail was taken care of, allowing me to focus on the experience itself. All of the time he went on the trips with us, to ensure that we would be safe and that we would see the best places in each region. Also the plan was made upfront so we could decide where to stay and what we would want to see. But he never left us alone, if we had problems or questions. He booked the rooms and even if there was a small change of plans he always let us decide what we would like to do or not do. What I really like was that he was so immense flexible and calm with our trips. The accommodations were fantastic—a spacious and clean house that always felt like a home away from home. It was a welcoming place to return to after each adventure. Also the food was perfectly organized and well cooked and always on request from the volunteers. The volunteering experience at the nearby hospital was incredible. Everything went smoothly, and the owner meticulously planned our stay at the hospital, ensuring we were well-prepared and comfortable. He also perfectly balanced our time at the hospital with downtime at the house, creating the ideal environment for both work and relaxation. One of the standout aspects of the experience was the owner’s flexibility, professionalism and kindness. He gave us the freedom to choose what we wanted to experience, making it a highly personalized trip. Well-known in the city, he always knew the best places to enjoy a great evening. Whether it was experiencing the local culture or trying the delicious local food, he made sure we had the perfect opportunity to immerse ourselves in it all. I am really happy to have made this experience with Ghana Volunteer, especially in this beautiful country that he brought closer to us. He made Ghana a second Home for us. And I cant wait to go back to Ghana and Ghana Volunteer. U can really tell, that he loves and appreciates his country and all the volunteers that will come. If you're looking for a meaningful volunteering experience in Ghana, I highly recommend Ghana Volunteer. It’s a wonderful organization that makes sure every participant has a positive and memorable journey.

I travelled to Ghana twice to coach football to local children aged 5-16. It was an incredible and life changing experience. Eben and his team were fantastic hosts helping set up the football coaching and organising fun activities throughout the week. We also got the opportunity to explore Ghana on the weekends including the Gold Coast, the rainforest, and a safari. The local people are lovely and it’s a fantastic place to meet new friends who are also volunteering. I couldn’t recommend Eben and the experience any higher!

My experience with Ghana Volunteer International has been life-changing. For two months, I was able to volunteer in a local school and support the teachers. By that I helped children get a good school education. Everyone, the owner as well as the teachers and the kids, is so open minded and welcoming that you feel comfortable immediately. During your free time you have the opportunity to get to know the Ghanaian culture and the country itself. Traveling with the owner was always a great experience. Due to his knowledge about Ghana and the places we went to, everything was well planned and organized. We didn’t need to worry about anything while having a great time and being able to ask everything we wanted to know about the country and culture. All in all, my time here was great and will always have a special place in my heart, especially because of the people around me.

Ewan WinshipVolunteer in 2023

I spent 2 months in Ghana in 2023 and I had an amazing time in the most part due to Ebenezer. He is a fantastic guide taking us to all the wonderful spots Ghana has to offer. He is a knowledgeable tour guide taking us to the best places to go and teaching us about the history and importance of the locations we visit. He is also a wonderful person to have when showing us the nightlife Ghana (especially Accra) has to offer enshrining we have a great time whilst being mindful of our safety. Overall I could not have asked for a better guide (or person), 10/10 would (and have) recommended to friends.
