Volunteer abroad · Ghana
STEM volunteer in Ghana.
Teach robotics, coding and hands-on science in the Volta Region — painting classrooms, running workshops and celebrating with the communities that welcome you.
Where you'll serve
Mepe & Dadome, Volta Region.
Our Ghana home is the Volta Region — the Ewe communities of Mepe and Dadome, a few hours from Accra.
At Dadome D.A. Basic School, Dreamers Wish Foundation helped build a STEAM/ICT lab with the support of a donor who believed in the dream — and in July 2027 we're bringing Starlink internet to the school, connecting its classrooms to the world.
As a STEM volunteer, you'll teach in these classrooms: robotics with VEX kits, coding basics, science demos and math-through-play — always alongside Ghanaian teachers who lead.
