If you are 18 or over you can apply to volunteer with us. Greenfield Foundation is a non-profit organisation that aims to help disadvantaged communities in developing countries in Africa through volunteering and fundraising. Although we are small, we pride ourselves on providing a safe, fulfilling and enjoyable experience for our volunteers. Gideon Korda, our founder, and project manager for all volunteer destinations, has many years of experience running volunteering projects and is completely committed to the welfare of our volunteers while on placement.
Also, two of our British-born directors, Kevin Alderson and Hannah Price, have spent time in Ghana as volunteers themselves. Kevin was involved mainly in building, but also did some teaching. Hannah is a medical doctor and volunteered in a hospital. Both directors are willing to respond to any queries concerning these particular placements or, indeed, any aspect of volunteering with Greenfield Foundation.
New destination for 2024! We have been operating in Ghana since we began, but we are pleased to announce that we are now also ready to place international volunteers in Kenya. We are also, currently, in the process of negotiating a volunteering partnership with an NGO in Malawi. We are expecting this to be completed this year.
Why don't you join us and make a world of difference to disadvantaged communities in Africa? Our volunteer programmes include working on a variety of activities as follows:
- Building & Refurbishment
- Medical & Healthcare
- Teaching & Orphanage Childcare
- Sports Coaching & Development
- Dance, Music & Art
Volunteers with, or without, expertise in these fields are ALL welcome, as there are a variety of levels in which assistance can be given. Volunteers may be allowed to be involved in more than one project during their visit, subject to their length of stay, placement availability, distance between projects, etc. Please note that volunteering opportunities may vary between destinations, and these may vary over time. For example, building and refurbishment projects are not necessarily continuous in a particular destination.
We give grants to various projects in the country where we have our volunteer programmes. These tend to be for projects that are too remote to send volunteers to, or to top up more expensive projects, for example to pay for building materials, where volunteer fees do not fully cover the costs. If you are not able to volunteer, please consider making a donation.
