Our work in Ghana will take place in the region around Butre, marked on the above map. It takes around 3 hours travelling from the capital Accra, to the small village of Butre, after arriving by plane.
The projects in Butre include a timber footbridge, which has serious structural problems (visit our Photo Gallery for images), a set of steps up to the picturesque Fort Batenstein and a new toilet block for the village. For more details on the projects get in touch with us via e-mail or phone.
You are free to spend as much time as you like on the project, obviously with the aim of getting as much done as possible. Time of travel is also up to you as many of the projects haven't been started and there is always a need for the maintenance of projects underway.

FUNDRAISING
Money can be the biggest problem when trying to organise a trip abroad, whether it is a simple holiday away or a long volunteering expedition. Because of this we try to encourage all of our volunteers to fundraise as much as they can. Even the smallest bit can make your life much easier when coming to pay for flights or project fees.
All members on the last trip to Butre were able to raise around £1300 each which paid for flights and project costs. The local community helped to raise a large sum of money with events such as a coffee morning. This is just one example of the ways you can raise extra money.
