We are inviting everyone to help us make a big change in the rural communities of the Volta Region of Ghana. Through HardtHaven you have the opportunity to travel to Ghana and make a difference in the lives of needy children and the lives of those in the communities they come from. We are a very small organization, which gives us great flexibility and we can customize your volunteer experience. You can make your stay as short as 2 weeks or as long as 2 years, you can stay with a local family or at our Children's Home, and you can choose where you want to work. It is all up to you.

Optional programs currently available include volunteer work at:

• Margarette Marquart Hospital
• Medical Clinics
• Another local orphanage (in great need, and not well supported)
• The Special Inclusive School (a school for the disabled)
• Local primary schools
• AIDS education/awareness/testing/counseling (depending on qualifications)
• Various community development projects (ask for details!)
• Or if you have something you are passionate about let us know and we will see what we can arrange!

We cannot pretend to remedy the serious social and economic problems of the countries where we work and send volunteers, but we can set you up to be busy, be effective, and make a lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most.

*We can also arrange in-country tours and a language and culture excursion
