Our Projects

Care Project

Care Project is the flagship programme of WE CARE. Through this project, we are able to send volunteer teachers, doctors, nurses, sports men and women as well as other experts to help provide training for vulnerable children in orphanages, day care centres, kindergartens and special schools in Ghana. Many communities and people in Ghana have benefited from this project. /p>

Building Project

Our building projects play a pivotal role in our aim to ensure that every Ghanaian child receives quality education. Through this project, we are able to set up basic infrastructures to start schools in communities where there are no schools. Our volunteers help in building these schools and also constructing library facilities for them.

Teaching Project

We support education delivery in Ghana by augmenting the staff strength of the various schools, particularly communities where they have deficit in teaching staff. We send volunteers to work alongside local teachers to help improve pupils' literacy and numeracy skills, especially their competencies in the use of the English language. We also send our volunteers who have knowledge in ICT to help in the teaching of ICT in basic schools as Ghana has a huge deficit in ICT teachers.
