Fill in the application form or email/ contact us if you have any questions.
Apply for your visa because, in order to work in Ghana you will need a visa issued by the Ghanaian embassy in your home country. Below are the necessary things to know,

  • Have a document that states that you will participate in voluntary work in Ghana. (We will provide you with this document within the shortest possible time after you've applied)
  • Have a Nationality of the country you are coming from
  • Valid passport
  • Fill and Submit application form, which will be given as you ask from the embassy.
  • Complete this form in capital block letters.
  • Vaccination for yellow fever and show this certificate.
  • Proof of return ticket. For more information have a look at the website of the Ghana embassy in your country.
  • Book your flight to Accra thus the capital of Ghana.
  • Volunteers should arrive a day before the project starts and if you want to arrive some days earlier before the camp date let us know to arrange accommodation for you for before the camp starts.
  • Sometimes a 'round-the-world' ticket is cheaper so check that. You can shop around the world too. Destiny Volunteers would suggest you try:

(check their 'Lowest Airfare Guarantee' Policy). Only if needed.

  • All volunteers must obtain comprehensive travel insurance prior to departure, which is very necessary. Insurance gives you peace of mind and backup. A comprehensive policy that covers medical repatriation to your country of residence.

DESTINY VOLUNTEERS do expect you to be free from any criminal act and have an open mind and a good interest in the culture of Ghana and in the project you choose to work for.
