This summer, our Ghana team welcomed our biggest programme to date, with our volunteers completing over 10,038 hours of volunteering at our partner schools in the Volta Region.
Increasing security at four of our partner schools
A big focus for some of our partner schools is to increase the security of their school site and provide one clear entrance to the school. By having one entrance, teachers will be able to identify students who are late and then work with them to improve their attendance so they don’t miss out on vital learning time. To achieve this, we are working with the schools to build perimeter walls around the school sites. Also at Ashata School, the wall will help to keep the new WASH Programme facilities secure.
Our volunteers picked up the baton from our previous groups and continued to mould bricks to construct a perimeter wall at Tegbi EP School, Ashata School, Dornorgbor School and Dziedzorve School.

Constructing permanent classrooms
This summer, volunteers have been making fantastic progress at Little Roses to help them fulfil their goal of converting temporary classrooms into permanent brick structures to reduce flooding.
Volunteers helped local builders to mix concrete, which was then used to mould blocks.
Alongside helping to construct a classroom, volunteers also made an impact inside it, teaching a range of subjects including maths, geography and dance.
To help reduce overcrowding at Shalom School, volunteers helped to mould and lay bricks for the continuation of a four-unit classroom block.
The group also kindly donated a range of clothes, stationery and sports kits.
Constructing libraries at two of our partner schools
This summer, volunteers made significant progress with constructing two libraries, one at Woe EP school and the other at Aklorbordzi School. Volunteers helped to mix concrete and lay the bricks to build the outer walls at Aklorbordzi and at Woe. EP volunteers mixed concrete, which was used to screed the floor for the library.
The new libraries will provide a dedicated space for learning and will transform the educational experience for 1069 students.
Improving the school site
Currently, when it rains, the school site floods at The Lord’s Academy, making it hard for students to get to their lessons. This summer, volunteers constructed a new level concrete floor across the school site to reduce the risk of flooding.
Thank you to all our volunteers who were part of our 2025 summer programme and helped to make a long-term sustainable impact at our partner schools.
