Volunteer in Africa with Women in Progress/Global Mamas

Volunteer in Africa

"My experience confirmed that no matter where I go, everyone wants the same thing, to make a better life for themselves and their families - and the Global Mamas are doing just that."

Precious Lovell, Fashion Designer / Educator

Do Something!

Global Mamas has been creating life changing experiences for international volunteers for over a decade. Our volunteers are instrumental to our success by providing hands-on assistance and training to expand our women's skills and grow the organization.

Join us for a one-of-a-kind cultural adventure of a lifetime.

Why Global Mamas?
With over a decade of experience hosting international volunteers we know how to put your skills and talents to use to enrich the lives of our women and their families. We offer:

  • Customized Projects: Your project will be customized to your specific skills, talents, and interests.
  • In-House Projects: You are actually placed in a project within our organization vs. being outsourced somewhere else. This allows us to develop very meaningful and personalized projects and to respond immediately if your project needs refining once you are in Ghana.
  • Peace of Mind: We know how to keep you safe and healthy.
  • Adventure: Your experience would not be complete without getting to know Ghana. We encourage you to take time to travel, experience and enjoy Ghanaian culture.
  • Adventure: Your experience would not be complete without getting to know Ghana. We encourage you to take time to travel, experience, and enjoy Ghanaian culture.
  • Competitive Fees: Volunteer fees that cover pre-departure support and orientation, lodging in Ghana, international medical insurance for US citizens, in-country support, and project related expenses.
  • Hit the Ground Running: We provide an immediate introduction to the local culture and our Global Mamas Community.
  • Exceptional Support: Our staff is comprised of locals as well as past volunteers from abroad. This allows us to provide exceptional in-country support to keep you engaged in your project and ensure you have a life changing experience.

Tired of vacations where you only meet hotel staff and never get the chance to really integrate with local people?

Tangible Impact
It is impossible to convey how profoundly the energy and passion of our international volunteers has impacted the lives of women in Ghana. Our Mamas are unique and their accomplishments over the years have varied from supporting their children through all levels of school including university, paying off debts, opening savings accounts, expanding their businesses, improving the nutrition and health care for their families, and most importantly, feeling empowered and valued. We are proud of our success and invite you to be a part of shaping our future.
