Money raises a number of questions when it comes to meaningful travel. If you choose to give your time and energy to a project overseas, you might ask ‘Why do I need to pay? What advantages are there to traveling with a Volunteer and Travel agency like the R.V.O-Ghana the best way to answer these questions is to take them one by one: Why pay to contribute to a project overseas?
When you join a volunteer project with us, you are not giving your time to R.V.O but to the project, NGO or charity where you’ll be working. We act as a meaningful travel agency whose job is to create the relationship between you and the project and provide you with
extensive support while you’re there.

The benefits to you
An R.V.O-Ghana travel experience offers you much more than the opportunity to work on a volunteer project overseas. It offers you the simplicity of a package holiday with all the rewards of independent travel.

Safety and support
When you pay for the services of an organization like the R.V.O -Ghana, you can be sure that whatever happens, there’ll be someone nearby to help you out. This means that you can travel with confidence to Ghana that you might not otherwise have considered.

Save time
Finding a suitable project where you can assist takes time and is often impossible to do from home. This can be frustrating, especially if you only have several weeks or months in the country. Because of our constant relationship with the projects, we can ensure you hit the ground running and make full use of your time abroad.

Quality and safety of your project
We ensure that the work done at our projects is genuinely worthwhile and that it will have a positive impact on the aims of the project. We also invest time in checking the legitimacy of the project and ensuring it provides a safe working environment for you.

Accommodation
All the accommodation that we use in Ghana is run by local people. This means that 70 percent of your fee will go directly into the local host families. Our involvement with distant communities also means that, we can find you accommodation in the home of a local family, rather than a hotel or guesthouse. This has innumerable benefits for those who want to integrate into the local culture. It’s the best way to live in Ghana.
