Location: Half an hour from the centre of Kumasi
Description of the project: Rehabilitation home for physically and mentally disabled ranging from 16-35 years. People are prepared for life outside with teaching mainly relating to handicrafts such as shoe and dress making.
Activities for volunteers: Volunteers are encouraged to use any existing skills they have to help, and there is a lot of freedom of choice as to what you can do. Past volunteers have taught art, literacy and maths to the students as most have not been to school, and also organised extra-curricular activities for them.
Accommodation: In the project
