Through providing education, love, care and attention to orphaned children in Ghana, the Childcare project aims to address the problems that children left without parents and without support due to poverty of some of the parents who cannot afford their children school fees face. Volunteers on this project are placed in both rural and urban communities or areas where they teach and provide care and affection to orphaned and poor children in Ghana. Volunteers are responsible for designing and implementing effective teaching programs, activities and events to inspire and develop the talent and abilities of the children. Volunteers are welcome to bring along books, pencils, basic first aid supplies and musical instruments to help entertain the children and assist with activities. These supplies can generally be purchased in the country, if packing space is limited (GILINAVO encourages the purchase of supplies in Ghana to support the Ghanaian economy, rather than buying the goods pre-departure).
